[Tanx] Africa Twin

[Milt Rudy via Tanx]

The AT at the dealer was chained to a platform, so I didn't have a chance
to ride it or even move it around, just sit on it.  I just figured that a
1K liter motor would require a heavy chassis and would keep it from
nimbleness off-road.  All the pubs like it.  Maybe I'm just trying to talk
myself out of trying to come with the $13K.  Let's see, If I sold the 650
XChallenge (now on Craigslist
<http://lancaster.craigslist.org/mcy/5661015918.html>) and the CTX700, and
maybe a couple of shotguns.  Hmmm.
