i went to the big motorcycle show here in atlanta last weekend, there were bikes from every major dealer and a few i never heard of and probally won't again,this week however we are having an unsually warm week for january(mid-60's), so i was fortunate to take my burgie 400 out for a half-day ride, it's not an expensive motorcycle, to some it's not a motorcycle at all,it's not even the biggest burgman but it is heaven on two wheels to me, i glide around the roads and i come to the conclusion: if this is now all true bikers feel ,the style of bike is unimportant, wishing you all the joy of the ride for 2005
