Helped me to keep my sanity.

Still have it, not long ago rode it to work 12 miles away, 55 mph wide open. People ask how the ride was, I told them it was like the scooter ride in Dumb and Dumber.

When I was in high school, in a town about 70 miles south of Lincoln, Ne I had a Honda XL70. Rode it up to Lincoln more than once! It didn't make the trip real fast, but it made it!
