It's a beautiful bike. And I apologize here for sounding like a mother hen, but please please please wear a helmet. I am a bit of a mother hen. But I was also a paramedic for nine years. Those yakking moms in Suburbans are out there. And a wide variety of idiots all over. In the world of hospitals and fire departments, we call them "donorcycles" when folks aren't wearing head protection. Be safe and have fun!
Nice bike man!
I have a few friends that own big bikes..... Duke 748, 2 have R1's, Ninja 600, and a susuki 600 all nice bikes and go like shit off a shovel! :D
Peace
Very nice indeed,I wish you safety on the roads.
Are these bikes heavy to pick up?I mean when they are on their side not pick up totally unless you are into that.
thanks for the kind words everyone. i think they weigh close to 500 pounds so you deffinately dont want to get pinned underneath one and they must be kinda hard to pickup once they are down.
You have to have some balls to ride the faster bikes and the equivelent to balls for any women riders out there who we cant possibly forget :thumbsup: :cool:
If you're going to TN to ge the bike, then try riding over to the TN/NC state line and riding the dragon to deals gap. I used to deliver around there and I would see bikers every day comming out of the tail. 318 curves in 11 miles. fun stuff.

Have a good one !
Hey Torog,
The problem is I have an isatiable appetite for speed and raw power. It may be the end of me, I hope not but that's just the way I am right now. If an American company built the bike I want you bet I would buy it over a rice patty. Too bad they don't but you got to hand it to the Japanese and the Germans for producing very fine reliable automotives. If Detroit could take a note from them they would be far better off IMO.
Take it easy
The way i see it, American bikes = long distance cruising and comfort. Japanese = short and zippy and a pain to ride distance. I allways wanted a crotch rocket for the speed and shit, but if I ever got one it would prolly be a harley or similar. They're just made for driving for days on end. Plus, there's really no need to go 0-60 in a blink of an eye. That is unless you live in the matrix or something. Both really good bikes, but really different.

This way,if ya decide to out-run some cops on it,you'd have a clear advantage over them..Yeeehhhaaawww !!! :D
Have a good one ! :stoned:
