Cool, had a buddy who had one. Keep a close eye on brake pads. His ate them every 30K miles. Nothing wrong with them, just a heavy vehicle.

Reminds me of a bumper sticker a friend had on his beater car back in high school days. "Who needs brakes? I've got bumpers!"

I just read the thread. It sounds like you'll be very happy with your choice.
Thinking outside the box, I like Dual sport adventure bikes (700 to 800 cc) for all of the above. Passengers, naw...bunches of groceries, Naw...tons of funs, YES. Add it to a heavy lift rear hitch and it goes everywhere the Newell goes.
