Rev, all good. Won't make it to S.D. on this trip but hope to soon, I'll give you a shout when that happens. I've heard it's a beautiful place - a friend of mine met a dear somewhere round your parts. He (the dear) and my friend's beautiful old Carmen Ghia made the journey to the happy hunting grounds together that night. With any luck I won't be needing that helo-pad but good to know it's there...
Good afternoon at the ORV park I hope -- how did Mom like the XR? I took my better half out on a Pan at the weekend, roadwork of course, except for a couple of wrong turns
but I don't think she's ready for the park just yet...
All the best,
Bob.

Yeah Bob,
It's all fun. Including the apology for such a poorly edited post.
What's not 'in-fun' is the warning--Do look left before stepping off
the curb. Folks talking on a cell phones will kill you dead.
If you get to South Dakota, I can show you some great dual sport
roads AND I know where most of the hospitals in my area are located,
or at least I know where the helo-pad is located.
Welcome to the States.
