Your a kid!
I'm 4 years older than you.
I bought a LHT and used it for a tour of USA in 2016 then last year went from England to Spain. I love the bike and am glad I never thought twice about the extra cash it cost me. It rode like a champ! Once in France I was not looking forward and ran up and over a curb. No damage and I didn't fall off. The bike just went up on the sidewalk and I kept riding!
Most comfortable bike I have ever ridden. I rode day after day 60 - 120 miles and I was never sore, tired and hungry yes but never sore! Planing 3 tours fro when covid allows.
I I kept a Journal on CGONAB
