Harry,

I bought the clone because the price was right and I fell in love with it at first sight. I was planning on getting a Harley but not for a couple of years when this one showed up.

I'm on the same page as you about the BMW. I've been looking at the R1100S since the summer. Either the Boxer Cup model or the limited edition race replica model they just released. I just hate to spend that much money. I can get the CBR1000F and have $8-10K left over for traveling money (or keeping the Superhawk). I think the CBR will keep up with the Electraglide and Henrys RF900.

I've been thinking about the 50cc some more and I may meet you two in Houston or somewhere mid-country and do the last half of the cross-country trip and the return trip. This would cut out the Denver to San Diego part also. It's still a ways off so there's time to decide.
