Hey Zziller - your bike is weird.  It sits low, sure, but it turns oddly as well.  And your clutch is REALLY easy to pull.  And you can see things in your mirrors... what's the point in that?

You and all the Harley folks?   [laugh]
No modification goes unpunished. Memento mori.  Good people drink good beer.  Things happen pretty fast at high speeds.

It's all up to your will level, your thrill level and your skill level.  Everything else is just fluff.

I know! I need to get adjustable front and rear suspension bits, some clip-ons, and pull the trigger on the bar-end mirrors I've been looking at. Also need to replace brake lever that was "custom formed" when I dropped it the first time ;D

Oh yeah, and find a bit of carbon to cover the right side of the engine case that got scuffed up in aforementioned drop

actually, i think it's the same time frame. they get a good deal on shipping the bikes, since there's a crap load of them going. we won't be riding w/ them, but yeah a lot of them will be on island at the same time.

idk if u remem the advance class instructor, gary. he's kind of tall and talks w/ a slight lisp. it will be him, the wife, and another woman that i know.

Gary, the older, like me, kind of guy that rides a Triumph of some sorts?  All in all it sounds like fun.  BTW, what bikes were you & Brian on last night? Or were you on a bike? I just saw a couple yellow Suzuki's in the parking lot.

there were 2 yellow and a silver svs, a yellow r1, my duc, and a another white 848. rob is the guy that just moved back from San Fran w/ the 848.

that reminds me, i forgot to ask him if he wants to come out on sunday... doh. he'll probably have to ask the wife anyways! lol, hope he reads this.  ;D

I think the main oddness is really just from the different tires.  And the LOOOOOOOOOOW seat.  [cheeky]

It's not low, it's afraid of heights! It's just trying to closer to the ground. :D

Well that's no good then is it?  Figured you would be, or maybe you are and it's a secret...

I don't move like the vamps on True Blood.  ;D  This place gets most of my internet time, I dabble a bit at .ms and lurk over on Ducatispot. There's no time left over for bicycle forums but that could change.
