Ride2Tires.... I hate to break this to you, but you should refer to "your" bike as "your former bike". Good luck getting it back. I guess you could save yourself some money and ride "her former bike".[sm=massbounce.gif][sm=signs003.gif]

Ride2tires.... I kinda lika ya! You'll admit when your gal beats you over the head, with a shovel.... saying "NO STUPID.... MY HARLEY." AWESOME for her and even MORE awesome that there is one heck of a guy behind her!
Sorry, no winning numbers... heck (g-rated version of the f word)if I had that power I would'n't be posting here. I'd be riding my 1200 and motioning for my cabana BOY to bring the next drink!)
To your g/f ROCK ON SISTER…. Just slow down for the ol’ boy…. A Buell can’t keep up with a 1200cc.

Actually, in all honesty, I am glad.

The G/F has some back issues and the vibration and uncomfy seat position of the Buell limits her to about 150miles per ride. She has already commented that MY scoot is better on the back and believe it or not, less vibration('02 w/ rigid mounts).

Guess I will be shopping for a '04 and up today in my down time.

I am all for it!!

I recently talked to a girl that was in the MSF class w/ me. She had bought a 650 V-Star, but couldn't do the clutch/gas/shift coordination, so she traded it in on a 650 scooter with auto shift. She was almost apologetic when she talked about it, so I pointed out that most of the cars in the parking lot we were standing in were automatics, too. BFD, in my opinion. She's out there riding and doing it her way, I say go go go!
hawaiibound, you are on fire today![sm=badbadbad.gif] Can you believe it's already AUGUST?!!?[:@]

I've heard that those Buell Blasts beat you up pretty good. Just got that one big ol' piston hammering away in there.
