:)Me and my brothers first bike lazs. The old man traded a
58 Edsel for it.
Both got ripped off.
We rebuilt it and burned it to the ground first ride.

Im with Lazs.

In the UK the highest fatality rate on bikes seems to be the born again bikers.
That is regular bike riders 20 odd years ago, raised a family and come back to bikes, jump on and basically die.

They do not appreciate the tremendous performance leaps that have occured in that time until its too late.

Oh wait, never mind we are talking about HD's. (cue cute smiley thing)

Insurance companies over here are now refusing to insure anybody without 3 years no claim discount on machines over 900cc last i heard. Although some have broken rank and will accept 2 years.

We recommend anybody who has been away a long time take a refresher training course or an advanced rider training program.

With the huge increase in road traffic over the last 20 years on the UK's roads you need to learn defensive driving which was not much of an issue years ago.

Anyway take care and learn the bikes limits slowly and safely.

Now get rid of the plexiglass shield thing and it would be "cool".;)
Some will fall in love with life and drink it from a fountain that is pouring like an avalanche coming down the mountain

It's a stock seat SirLoin and yes, it is comfy :).

Cav,
I am well aware of that, still nervous in traffic do to some lack of familiarity with the "scooter". I plan on taking the MSF experienced rider course soon. Other than riding it up from Waco on back roads, about 115 miles worth, with my wife running interference for me with my truck, I'm sticking to neighborhood and back road drives for the time being. The freeways scare the crap out me right now. I do realize how much more advanced the new scooters are, my last one was a 1100 Yamaha about '78 vintage.
