I'm just drawn to my motor and drivetrain. I like the low-end power and love no chain. I've ridden a DRZ here, more fun off then on.
I'm still getting use to these tires on the street, but this thing handles great. I'll be back to CB speeds by the weekend. Big Grin

Canceled the Akrapovic front pipe. I'm thinking without a cat it would just be too loud.

Is that the one where the studly guy rides his ArrrrghNinety through town and pulls up in front of the bar? Then he and the super-hot bartendress make goo-goo eyes at his bike?

I'm pretty sure the bartender boinks him because he has an AreNineTee. It's the only plausible outcome of the scenario presented. Unless he has a few drinks, starts to ride home, gets pulled over in a DUI roadblock, goes to jail and has to bail out, gets his bike confiscated, then hires an attorney, spends $10,000 on fees and fines, and pays 10X the standard insurance rates for the next 5 years...

Go hagofuku yourself.

That's the one, I see both the BMW ads all the time.
On the TV ad they fail to mention the 6 month wait?
I just spotted an R9T on last nights, "What's in the Barn" show.

RE: Nantucket Nine
1 week in and hit 300 miles today.
Havin' a great time. Doing about 50/50 on/off. Have been finding all kinds of dead-end roads that really don't end, they just change to dirt and sand. No problem now, alot more riding Big Grin

Dislikes to report:
No fuel gauge-Reserve light comes on and counts miles run on reserve.
No temp gauge
That's about it, like with the CB display I'm sure they'll add them next year.

Getting 42 MPG so far, has that in the display? With avg trip speed and a live MPG reading. It does have a gear indicator, speedo and tach.

Bike Report = Thumbs Up

ROFL that made me laugh. In my county that is the most plausible scenario. They give out yellow and red license plates for dui offenders here.. The Scarlet A. They are everywhere!

Ferret,

Spaceman writes the truth doesn't he? Thats life if the U.S. nowadays. Be it bike or car.

I never heard of the different color tags before. I guess they like to really embarrass people. The Scarlet letter on our heads will be next Smile

If you come to a fork in the road, take it!
