Was merely pointing out that in and of itself, that could be problematic. And in all seriousness, it's never been a matter of wimping out. It's other responsibilities that tend to get bumped up the priority list without notice. That's my reality and while not always conducive to getting things checked off on my "I really want to do this" list, it's where I live.

The 640 is starting to look like the bike that's going to occupy my fantasy for the time being.

Are you stuck on the Adventure or have you considered an LC4 640e? Eric's been loving his 640e. Super versatile, go-anywhere bike, more versatile than the Adv in my opinion, especially if you're a true off- road rider. He's ridden it on single track lots of times, ridden it in Baja at +100mph, done 200-mile days off-road with a full load of camping gear, and it is the perfect urban assault vehicle for the hellish commutes here in the Bay Area. If you're looking for more highway riding, though (thus less "Adventure" <G>) then the Adv might be for you. Tell me your thoughts!
