Dave had a guy come by a couple of days ago from Dallas with the Dragula.. Man that setup sounds nice! Better than my D&D but when I crack that throttle on the D&D you know it.. :-)

I'll go with an open breather like I had on the SG. I'll have to switch the powervision over and get a new map. Will add dynamic rings signals and a Bright *** Lights smoked laydown taillight in May. Grips will be changed pretty quick. I have a ton of Wille G skull stuff already. Will have to get the floorbooard inserts at some point. I also have my C&C fastback seat. I don't plan on changing the wheels but will probably go with floating rotors at the first pad change. Will do stereo stuff later. I plan on riding it for a while before thinking about bars. I'm not screwing with wiring monkey bars again! Will add RG custom rear facia and move the license plate later as well.

nice new scoot you got there.
Just curious though as to what were your reasons in deciding to go with a RG this time around?

It was between the Ultra Limited, the RG ultra, or keep my bike. Once I road an ultra my bike was out of the running. I really wanted to be more comfortable. I chose the RG because:
1. I really like the look of the RG
2. When I test drove them on a windy day the RG felt better in the wind to ME. That's just my opinion.

1. You gonna get flamed for that.
2. Wait until you get behind a tractor trailer. That's where they really shine.

Question: Does your wife know you post bikini pictures of her on the internet? I was just looking for more pictures of your bike... honest....WOWSER
