The jury is still out on that. I like a nicely balanced naked bike and find them more comfortable than partially faired. I'll take it off later on to see how effective it has been.

Sweet!

Yeah Looks good for sure. V-Twin Torque!

I imagine that you two are the Rebels in your street?

Interesting slice of suburban life, nice houses & NO fences, everyone in Oz has a fence to keep OUT the neighbours & also to keep the Dogs IN.
Any of your neighbours have Dogs?? - How....with no fences, in the backyard I guess.

When I used to live in the 'burbs we used an "Invisible fence" which worked like a charm. It's a wire you bury around the perimeter of your yard, and the dogs wear a collar that shocks them if it gets too close tot he wire. (It's not a bad shock ... yes i tried it The collar made a beeping noise in proximity to the wire before it gave a shock, so the dogs would know not to go any further !

The added benefit was that soon enough the dogs heed the boundaries of the yard even without the collar.

It's not as stuffy as it appears in the pics. Calgary has been booming for years and everyone here has a new house. There just aren't enough old ones to go around. And yep, they are close together but just about everyone has a chain link fence 'cept me. I've got a nice old 6' wooden one That must make for the rebel part......

lol....I have one of those. Don't even live in the 'burbs. So funny. The dogs will get up as close as they possibly can. Collars going, "BEEPBEEPBEEPBEEPBEEPBEEP....." Maaan, when we're getting the bikes out, the dogs go crazy, but they won't go past their magic stopping point. Funny.

Now if they could just make them work to keep the dogs OUT of my yard or even better the owners. The trouble with the 'burbs is everyone HAS to get a dog and then "walk" them at night so someone else has to clean up the dodo. Don't get me wrong, I love dogs.....just not owners who don't clean up after them.....and there are alot of them out there.......
