    Nice. I haven't kept up with what's new for a few years (I ride an '86 Guzzi that won't die) but that's a nice looking bike.

    I don't know how much lean angle you'll get out of it but take it easy on the tires till the mold-release agent gets a chance to wear off. It can be slick.

    Ride safe.

    :yay :yay

    Those are breather tubes moonpie. One is for the battery vent and the other is for the fuel overflow.

    That bike also has forward mounted controls, a set of Straight Shot pipes, a new windshield and aftermarket sissy bar. It's ready for the road!

    it's been a few years since i've ridden anything, so rest assured, i will be grandpa-ing this thing for several weeks. matter of fact, i probably won't get much riding in untill after the sturgis rally. too many idiots on the road right now.

    TB to the rescue!

    it also has a set of brand new metzeler tires. not bad for 7.5K.

    moonpie, i've never been a big fan of flames myself, but i think these these are kinda understated. if they get on my nerves, well, my old drummer shoots bikes for a living.

    OK....just gotta clip them udders :yay

    I'm thinkin' one of these days I'm gonna have to get me another scooter.

    I'll love her and polish her. I'll treat her right. When TB comes through on a tour, I'll meet him 30 minutes outside of Huntsville......we'll do lunch.....then we'll ride. Oh, yes, we'll ride! Maybe up to an hour. On the other side of Huntsville, we'll wave and continue our journeys.

    The Bobster will continue on his quest to pack as much Brotherhood, Riding, and Pickin' as a fellow can pack into one lifetime.

    I will head for the house.
