I hear they've tightened up their rules for financing. Meant to ask the dealer about it the last time I was there, but I forgot.

Oh well I figured it was a long shot anyway seeing I'm graduating in April from the Web Design program at Fleming College. I wanted a grad present was hoping the Iron would be a nice entry level.

Definitely! But you do realise I'm from the town of Durham (just south of Owen Sound), not Durham Region, yes? :)

Um yes :oops: You'd think I'd remember that from reading your blog.

Perhaps I'll have to take the long way home from the hockey game. A couple teams I follow Port Hope in the Junior C loop and Bowmanville in the Junior A. Could be playing Uxbridge or Lindsay in the playoffs.

Any good reastuarnts? I drove to Buffalo one time to get chicken wings. As for now I think I'll go :hide2:

Here are a few pics with some slight mods. first is just pipes, second is with highway pegs.

I now have the front signals moved to triple clamp, mirrors swapped and placed underneath bars, no pic yet though.

I like the changes you did.

I always wanted to do one M.A.S.H jeep green pipes wrapped distressed leather seat grips similar color. Tank if it had any graphics would be dressed up like a bomber from WW2 era. including pinup girl ;)

Well I have a chance Lotto draw this evening.

Thanks, I am also hoping for a lotto win tonight. The only reason I play, is the thought of buying as many bikes as I want and riding forever.

I'd buy my dream car (1971 'Cuda 426 Hemi, with a 4 speed pistol grip shifter, plum crazy purple). And oh man would I buy the bikes. I'd buy a Fat Boy, and a sports bike.

Raoul if you are worried about leg room the Kaw Vulcans sit nice...older 500's 750's and 800's and can be had relatively cheap.
The Vulcan 750 is probably the most bulletproof of the bunch.
