2fat2fly 0 #52 May 31, 2007 have you ever tried to ride something like that? I had serious rake on a 69 sporty that I had a hundred years ago-definitely not nimble. I didn't look that closely at teh photo but I'd bet that it's a hardtail too-that's a bike that you trailer to the show and stand beside.I am not the man. But the man knows my name...and he's worried Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

TAndrews 0 #56 June 1, 2007 Great looking bike! That almost looks like my 2006 1200r except mine has a black engine, Hooker trouble maker exhaust and spike air cleaner. I'd post pics but I'm at work til 2am and leaving at 7am to take my son to do a tandem. I'll be a lot poorer in the near future. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
gonzalesna 0 #57 June 1, 2007 I saw it for the first time day before yesterday. There's a guy in my unit that bought one. All black, side style license plate mount (small thing, but makes a huge difference in look IMO) and just plain sick!!! (it's a good sick... kinda like bad but the good bad) Definately badass... I saw it while standing next to a buddy of mine and all I did was look, point, and said, "Dude! Look! I want that!!! GIMME GIMME GIMME!!!!!" Some people refrain from beating a dead horse. Personally, I find a myriad of entertainment value when beating it until it becomes a horse-smoothie. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

gonzalesna 0 #72 June 1, 2007 no flaking on mine yet, but there's not much of a winter here. Then again, there is a shit-load of sand that frequently blows around.
