Nearly a decade, ah yup. Last MSTA rally I made was the BS Rally in, uh, September of 2012. Ok, 7 years. Kids, scouts, work, getting to know Bob better, the usual. FJR is offline with a funky miss that I can't diagnose. Monster 821 is live and ready to go, with it's 120 mile range and sticky sport tires - an no fairing to speak of. Fun though!
