Thanks! I had to muck around with my diet a lot up to a couple of years ago due to gout and colitis issues. Nowadays, those issues are past and things are a lot more stable … I stick with mostly gluten free, low carbs, modest veggies (I don't digest veggies very well), and a reasonable distribution of meat, fish, and poultry. Light on anything sugar, fruit and nuts in modest amounts, stay away from garlic and onion and brocoli, etc. Amounts of all have been reduced by a little. I have my occasional wee dram or short glass of wine, and drink a lot of water.
That's a lovely machine, Bob! :-) Only photo I have of my new one so far is the manufacturer's photo: 2017 Specialized Fatboy Comp Carbon https://farm1.staticflickr.com/808/40285787454_4122ce07a2_o.jpg I'm fitting it with a pair of the Surly Black Floyd street tires (same ones I've been using on the Sumo fat ebike). It's a year behind the 2018 on equipment, so I might do an upgrade to the brakes and drive system as well; depends on how I like it after a few miles of riding.
