=============

As for you goin slow (your other thread) speed comes with experience - takes time in the seat - in all conditions

aside

The **** you perceived you've received thus far - ain't nothin compared to the **** you'll experience on the road

Be some real good times..., along with some real sphincter clenchers

Learn to roll w/ it - else you won't last - in either arena

on the 02 hugger, the speedo is 'certified'. those tend to be more accurate than the newer ones that are not. probably a little more expensive to manufacture as well, which is probably why they don't 'certify' them anymore.

I posted in the Original thread. Guilty I assumed the OP was a guy, later went and looked at the profile after reading more in this thread.
Being butt hurt should be Gender neutral, so I updated my put on your Big Boy pants, to Big Girl Panties (not implying she a Big Girl) that would be a whole other thread, and then some would ask for pics.
Since the OP is female there won't be any fun bringing up - it's a Chicks bike.
To the Queen, I could never treat you like One of the Guys, and I don't mean that in a bad way.

In the years that I've been here, I've seen a lot of 1 hit wonders that come on here and post a thread and never come back. Some of us never know if they are serious or just trolling. We can't always get it right. There's a lot of great info on here, it just takes some sifting through the sometimes BS to find the answer that you desire to find.
