Looks like you landed in a great place. Lost of pretty scenery and you dont have to deal with the cold. You could sell your car and just get a second bike in case of break downs.

As for the bike, I really do prefer the looks of the inside the frame mount. My friction drive looks just as bad though so I have no room to talk. I hope the engine is light cause I could never keep it upright if it weren't.

But you look as though you are going to have fun down there so have a cold beer for all of us, then DONT ride the bike.
