Firecap, the bike will be black, still suprised I had to special order a black Harley with ABS, thought half of all Harleys were black.

Sweet, yeah a shame aint it, its just that after riding the Nighty my RKC feels slow and sluggixh even at a 100/100 hp tq, had 17.6k on it, loved every mile of it.

Will hit the dirt with the KLR right after Ike comes through here.

Sometimes it's a good thing to be a little sad! You'll get over it.

17k is more than they will allow for an 07 around here, you did well.

Congrats on the new bike! I wouldn't call it a sad day at all, but one of great anticipation! Please post some pics when you're new ride arrives.

Congrats on the new ride. Don't know if I'll ever be able to part with my 2000, but I'm sure the day will come. I hear the 09's are pretty nice.
