Nice...need to do a "change-up" to your poser gear & here's a starter list:

1. FF lid w/dark or mirror shield & Mohawk vanity piece.
2. Flip flops
3. Shorts
4. Wife-beater shirts
5. Fat chick passenger



JK, congrats on the new ride and take 'er easy!

Congrats again. They are my favorite dealer, really went above and beyond for me in '08...... Bought my only two Harleys from them..... And I'm sure I'll buy more from them....

The only thing they can do is go very fast. They are not good for anything else. Unless you are a track day enthusiast........

They can also turn and stop! 14s are actually pretty comfortable too. I put over 60,000 miles on my ZX9rs. Many 500 days and some week+ long tours but I was younger.

Nice bike. Lots of power, but very easy to manage if you don't let it get out ahead of you. I almost picked one up to replace my CBR1100XX in late 2008, but decided to go for something completely different with a lightly used '03 BMW R1100S.



I'd have a garage full of bikes if I could; Motards, dual sports, GTs, Moto-X and sport bikes right along side the Harley's if I had the space and time to ride 'em. As it is, the BMW has been relegated to daily commute duty and the Wide Glide hardly gets any use since Miss Debbie likes to go out with me on the Road King.
