I have a mistress now...

Well...that's what my wife calls it :D. I picked up my new scooter today in Waco, TX.  I was able to get a better deal down there than here in the Metroplex. Here are some pics of my new baby...(if I can get it to work that is):

A line I use with my wife: "Don't ask if I love you more and I won't have to tell you."

VERY nice! Enjoy!

We want to see you at the next con. Can you strap a monitor on that thing?
If ye love wealth better than liberty, the tranquility of servitude than the animated contest of freedom, go from us in peace. We ask not your counsels or arms. Crouch down and lick the hands which feed you. May your chains sit lightly upon you, and may posterity forget that you were our countrymen!

SOB,
I saved them as JPG also and the file size was the same. I reduced the colors to 256 for the bmp's but the jpg's would have shown more color (24 bit I think). ( I changed them to jpg's and it does make a difference, thanks :) )

Toad,
I might have to go the lap top route if I am going to take it on this :).

You talk like a Harley guy.  But, you called it a scooter.  Hence, you must be a newbie Hog rider.  Hence, this time you will only be fined for calling that machine a (ewwwww) "scooter".  If you ever again refer to a harley as such, you will be shot betwen the legs!

:D

Was in Annapolis MD recently at a hotel where a goup of about 10 Road Kings, all black and all anniversary editions, showed up on a road trip.  Was an awesome sight!

weave is correct... "scoot" is the west coast old time expression.

mark... have fun but...please be careful out there... remember the 90 day rule...  90% of rider fatalities happen within 90 days of owning a new scoot. They included borrowing bikes in that statistic I heard.

You're right Laz, but I'm not exactly a newbie rider  :). It's just been 23 years since I rode a scooter and this IS the first Harley I ever rode! I still can't beleive I paid as much as I did for a totaly unknown entity. The forward controls are requiring the most getting used to but the scooter is amazingly smooth for a big twin. They have really made a lot of changes since the last time I looked at one.
