Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites hobie331 0 #35 June 3, 2008 Quote Cool bike! Is it comfortable for long distances though? Surprisingly so. It has crazy power so if I don't put something, like my gear bag, behind me I will slide back on the seat and then it is uncomfortable because I have to hand on so tightly. I wouldn't run 150 miles without stopping but then again, it would run out of gas by then. Back in October of 07' there was an article in Biker magazine about old school style choppers meant to be ridden and at the top is a picture of me on this bike pulling into Cassoday, KS with my skydiving bags strapped on. I was heading to Osage City at the time for some jumping. Just to brag a little more, it was also featured in the Jan 08' edition. It's a gift, I don't try to explain it.

That and keep the rear tire pressure low. It's a gift, I don't try to explain it.
