Congrats on the purchase, awesome bike!
I can't imagine how cool it would be to have a stroked bagger in
England, do us a favor: pull out the baffles, load it on the ferry and
go make some noise in France!

Too bad there's no fix for the euro (billboard sized) license plate

Enoy the ride bro,

Cheers!

Hey Crankshaft, next time I'm in England I want to see that bike in person. Maybe rent a ride, and go for a putt with you. Last time I was there I went to KingsRow HD, and picked up a cool patch. Now if you could just fix that rain thing they have going over there. Ride safe.

Thanks for all the kind words gentlemen, I've had a brief play with this machine and it's freakin' awesome. I never understood the 'bagger' thing till I rode this thing and now I'm hooked. The weather forecast for Friday and Saturday is sunny and 60 degrees so it looks like I'll be getting a lot of miles racked up.
Ride safe everyone.
