It's just a shame that SB guys (at least here in the US), act like they do toward cruisers. There, I fixed it for you.

xtravrtsoul 0 #77 October 4, 2009 QuoteQuoteQuoteQuotePics when done???? Not done, but the picture is there now! That is going to BA when it is done. NICE work. :) Can't wait to see the finished product. THANKS! There will be very few like it. Truthfully, it's an amateur job, but it's not bad considering the whole thing was done in my garage. I'm thinking I'm going to ride it for 2-3 months and sell it to buy a modern bike. The short list is: Suzuki SV-650S ABS BMW F-800 ST Triumph Daytona 675 Harley Davidson XR-1200 Well I am here to tell you the SV650s is a fun ass bike and I have seen a lot lately on them. They are track made and their manueverability is great. Mine does not have the ABS. That does not bother me. As long as you know how to break without leaving rubber. But it is fun. I want a BMW1300 dual sport to add to our collection.You create life, life does not create you. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

shropshire 0 #88 October 5, 2009 Quote I had an f4 and then an r6. I have none now. The R6 was one of the finest, well balananced bikes that I have ever owned (so, I have owned 2 to date). It doesn't have the SOUL of a V-Twin (I've owned loads of these.. Ducatis x2, Moto Guzzis x1 and HDs x2)... but it is light, flickable and technically sorted ... and most importantly ... made me smile every time that I went out on one. (.)Y(.)

Nightingale 0 #90 October 5, 2009 Took the MSF course last year. Own a Vespa (not a motorcycle, but, hey, it has two wheels and is freeway legal), and borrow my dad's Suzuki Boulevard every so often, which isn't often enough in my opinion. Unless it is raining or I have to carry a lot of stuff or a passenger, I generally pretend that I don't own a car and take the scooter everywhere. Eventually, I will have my own motorcycle. Currently have my eye on the HD Sportster 883, but haven't had a chance to ride one yet, so I'm not sure what I will end up with when I do have the cash to buy. In the meantime, the Vespa is getting about 70 MPG and is almost paid for, so I can't really complain. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
