you can see it in the pic i posted. if you look close enough you can actually see my highway pegs. i know, highway pegs on a fazer! but they are handy on longer trips.[/quote]

Ah I can see the engine guard, but I can't see the highway pegs. I might need to find a set of those as well. I have a convention to go to in Las Vegas, and I may just ride there. It kinds stinks timing wise though. The convention is in late October. Octobers been good weather wise the past couple of years, but who knows? It is like 2700 miles one way...

At least the seat on the fazer is a billion times better than the B-Kings.

hehe. I know, I'm not insulted I'm just playing at trying to be insulted. Oh, 23 is nothing, I started graying at 15. I've been fully gray for a few years now. I had actually dyed my hair blue for a bout a week and a half, and then covered it with black. The bit of black in my hair is from that - not any natural black left.

I've been gray for so long that I can't use excuses like
"I didn't get that way until I got married." (granted I wasn't fully gray 13 years ago)
"You rotten kids - you are the cause of my gray hair." (I was fully gray by the time Random was born)

Of course, I really don't care that much about the gray - the disappearing hairs are a bit of concern.

See that - now that makes me feel good. I had a full head of hair in grade 11 - and only a few gray hairs! :kicking:

Thanks man! I like the nakeds as well, as dean says they aren't available here. They also have a fully faired version, which is cool as well. The FZ8 is supposed to be coming out soon as well. But I'll limit the bike buying thing (at the very least) to once every year and a couple months or my wife will kill me.

Don't worry, if she kills me I'll leave her a little not to tell everyone on TMW that I was not killed in a motorcycle accident.
