Been wearing boots for riding for so long that if I even move the bike out of the garage wearing tennies it just doesn't feel right. I don't think tennis shoes (yea, I'm older) would feel very good on my highway pegs, either.

I thought long and hard and put every scenario together when I were sneaks and came up with why, because I'm lazy!!

SNS,

I was at the dealer today and heard a stock '09 and thought it was very nice sound. I think I would as you did and keep it stock. So you sold the 'wide ovals'? That'll make for a Merrier X-Mas!!
