My Breakout was a blast... a seriously fun motorcycle. But now it's time to go farther, and therefore join the touring crowd! It's going to get Stage II, some LEDs, and a few other doodads before I bring it home. Notice the tag hanging on the handlebar. SOLD baby!
That is a beautiful bike! Congratulations and enjoy. Nothing like owning a capable machine that can take you anywhere and as far as you want to go at anytime!
Thank you! I expect it will be a different experience from the tire-spinning bar-hopper, which I was taking on longer and longer rides while discovering its practical limits. I started planning longer trips (some places I've read about on this forum) and it became clear they weren't going to happen on that bike. I will miss it, but I'll get over it, especially when I surpass 200 miles. Yes, it's the Twin-Cooled M8.
