The seats nice and cushy for my big butt, I can feel that already.BuzZz wrote:Congrates on the new bike, Dude.
I have a feeling you will like this bike better than the B-king for the kind of riding you like to do.
Wut, no ABS....
ABS, alas, may be a future bike. I didn't want to apply any cash except what I got for the B-King. There were only a couple bikes there with ABS. Next time around perhaps there will be more.dean owens wrote:i too offer a congrats.i'd type more but i just replied in your blog.
Thanks man ! The sliders are definitely of value and it might be fun to figure out how the engine guard can work on the bike.dean owens wrote:not sure if you already have a set of sliders or not... but i have a set of t-rex sliders i'm not going to use. i have an engine guard and they were going to be too much work to get them to be usable. i think i paid like $25.00 shipped to me. can't find them on ebay right now to verify that though. if you're interested i'll ship 'em to you for $25.00. just let me know. if not i was going to post them on craigslist and the fz6 forum to get 'em out of the way.
The pricey part I'm a bit sensitive to right now. On the other hand, looking like a dork and making the bike as practical as possible are things that reverberate well with me.jstark47 wrote:If you're gonna use it as a commuter suggest you invest in some hard luggage. Givi stuff may be a little pricey, but it's waterproof, secure, and lightweight. And it may look a little dorky on the bike (especially a topbox) but there's no beating the practicality.
Plus, there's the "hard luggage speed radar invisibility" factor.....
I was trusting after a Givi case for the B-King - which was an impossibility unless I or someone else came up with a custom solution.Awesome pic Dean! Sometime I'll get something like that. I was a little upset at the weather man today. "Oh the horror its gonna rain." - I didn't see any rain. Man, I could have taken my new ride in to work.dean owens wrote:hey now.jstark47 wrote:... it may look a little dorky on the bike (especially a topbox) ...you might want to watch yourself. those are fightin' words.
here's me at deals gap.
Just so long as none of us need to attend a dorks anonymous...jstark47 wrote:Hah! Dork!!dean owens wrote:hey now.jstark47 wrote:... it may look a little dorky on the bike (especially a topbox) ...
