Default Something for you folks up North

In the middle of prime riding weather here in the great state of South Carolina.

Stopped in the middle of nowhere and snapped a few pics. Showing off the new MGS slip-ons, Ventilator AC, Airwing backrest, Avon grips, and last but not least.....the Power Vision. I have the black Airwing saddlebag rails on order.

I've been out of town for the lasr week and just got it all together. Got the map loaded (THANKS Jamie!) and d a y u m!!! I was loving this bike and the 103 when it was bone stock. Gutted the cat and said hhhhmmmmmm, maybe just a little tweak will wake this puppy up.

Geeeezzzz Louise! Finally, I have a Harley that has some muscle to back up the roar. I was merging onto the highway earlier and not really rolling on it, looked down before I hit 6th and was doing 95. Up and down hills no longer wants a downshift. It never really needed to downshift, but I don't like to lug an engine. Now though, it just rolls on. Need for speed? Just roll the right grip.

Needless to say, I'm LOVING it!!

Going for a ride tomorrow through our White Mountains here in NH.
It will warm up to the mid sixties. All over in a week or two.
