Compared to a dirt bike and most all other bikes really, they're the nimble ferraris. We're the tanks on the road.

Next month will be the MTC at the local College.

I live near Cooks Corner and out through the canyon I really feel good about controlling the bike. But in the city streets I do not have near the same confidence.

All in due time I am sure.

Cleaned off the plastic paint protector on the rear fender and installed 2 new shiny seat bolts(?) today. Then the little one and I wiped down the bike together. Its begging to be ridden!!!!!

Painted the mesh on my Super Gas AC black. I have another AC that I will be using on this bike as soon as it gets back from Powder, and this one will be up for sale. PM if youre interested, should be available in a week.

Thanks! Chrome is ultra-rare

I have the same reservations about things that are common, I dont like to be like everyone else, and I’m usually not. There are a ton of black bikes on the forum, but when I ride poker runs etc, Mine sticks out like a sore black thumb in a sea of chrome, so that pleases me
