Well, after a long weekend ride with the wife and the guys with the "old man bikes" and just signed on for a 09 SG. I have a Vic Hammer that is a blast to ride and has been outstanding in all aspects but it is not made for 2-up touring. When we got home the wife says--"I guess we should get an "old man" bike for the long hauls." Now what guy in their right mind says " no we don't need 2 in the stall." 2 days later I signed on the dotted line for a 09 SG to be delivered the end of sept. I will be adding a tour pack and seat for the days when we ride together but when its just me, I like the clean look.

RIDE ON!!
