This thing has so much torque, I can ride it all day long at less than 1,500 rpm.

you're a better man than me. I'd need chiropractic after 1 mile.

I'm in Europe at the moment and have never missed my bike so much as when in Ceske Budejovice, the three owners of these walked into the bar with helmets and tank bags.

Two of mine last summer going over the mountains to camp with my son who's at airborne school right now. We're heading to Glacier National Park when he gets back.

Beautiful Bike Geoff,
Like you, I lusted after choppers in my youth and had my share of BMW airheads and crotch rockets before I bought my harley. With 124 cubic inches, she must be a real beast...

Much appreciated, JP. Yes, it is a beast!
Thanks again.

Love the little fairing on the kickstand. How cool is that?

I still have my '87....clutch went out a while back though....this thread has motivated me to get it back on the road - I really miss riding!

[MMARSH]

There are not a lot of things I enjoy more then riding a motorcycle...I ride everyday.


Whether its touring the Alps with my girl



Touring with my buddies on the Duc




Attempting to tear it up on the track



Or even playing at work
