Easily one of the funniest things I have read.

I guess I do have a certain style, huh?

Thanks everyone! I need to buckle down for a month or so, then I will start throwing some money at it.

More pictures (done by my beautiful lady). The riding picture was on a back road and sort of 'posed'. I never ride without a lid.

Anyone in the Houston area wanting a photo shoot, let me know! (Her taking them, not in them. Thats for me)

Congrats on the new ride...all I can say is the aftermarket world needs to put some time into some serious sheet metal R&D and parts. With the way these things are flying out of the showroom, it is going to become an absolute necessity to mod it out to set yours apart from the rest.

I remember somebody posting that Lapera had no intentions of offering a seat to fit the Slim which really bummed me out. So, I emailed them and got the response that a seat was "in the works". I have been checking back ever since...and still waiting.

Enjoy and ride safe.

Wow. Some of the nicest motorcycle photography I've ever seen. Make sure you get a nice comfy seat for your pretty lady.

Ill tell her you said that. That will make her day better! She really tries hard at it, knows how to get the perfect lighting etc.

I will be sure to get here a comfy seat. I have a couple of albums she did from my Vette and Forty-Eight.
