Thanks for the responses folks. Just wanted to see how it's viewed. I will do what i'm going to do regardless of what anyone says.
A few other bits of information:
This is a rider...not a show bike. I ride it at least 3-4 times a week, anywhere from 7 - 40 miles a pop. On the weekends, i go for longer rides and I've been on 380 mile round trip (in a day)
It is not a touring bike...I don't plan to be riding to Sturgis on it.
I live in San Diego...rain is not an issue. I don't ride in the rain anyway...it's just not fun. I've only been caught in a drizzle once in the last 6 years when on this bike.
I wish the Permanent Waves poster was an original...but it's a reprint. Though I bought the album when it came out new.
