    I'm riding in a huge benefit ride tomorrow so I took the bags and backrest off for the first time to polish her up. I really like the looks of her streamlined. It's the first I've seen her like this. What do you think?

    And back with baggage.

    When not having to carry anything like my water jug and lunch to work, I think I'll streamline her alot more. :d

    I likes her naked!

    Great bike, I like it just the way it is.
    Plus you may be able to get a hotty on the back with the seat, you know, to polish your shoulder blades:)

    What a coincidence Rob, I did the same thing on Friday!

    Yesterday the GF and I did some riding and stopped by our dealership just to see what was going on. I had originally intended to buy another long sleeved t-shirt but when I got there, I noticed that they had a "Dyno Day" going on. $40 for the dyno run with the top prize being a set of Rush slip-on mufflers, 2nd place, a set of $80 sun glasses. You could also take the money equivalent, so I entered. I may have won because I bested the top HP by 15 with only 45 minutes to go before closing and no one else was entering before I left! :cool:

    Anyway here are my streamlined pic's ( I suck at taking pic's)

    Gorgeous Greg, I think I'm loving the streamlined look more and more. I'll probably be riding mine without bags and back rest now every chance I get.

    Now our benefit ride today we carried enough for a small army. You know the Mrs and all their goodies. :d Now to come clean, I had stuff in there too. :deer:

    What a fantastic day for a ride. My face is sunburned. Left at 7:00 am, home 5:00 pm. Last count there was almost 600 bikes and they were still piling in when we left. Every walk of life, every style of bike possible and some we didn't think possible. Nice day.

    Rob, I gotta say, that is one sweeeet bike.... you are now officially bumped up to "Buckeye Pimp Status" :cool: :deer: Seriously though, that is one sweet bike, I love the fact that it is "bling" but not over the top.

    P.S. Those shades are pretty BAD A$$, now where's the mullet? :d :d :d :d

    It's a sweet bike either way but much much better without the Yuppie Bags.

    Hey thanks guys. I appreciate it sincerely.

    Sadly, or maybe not so much, the mullet is forever gone. I have however threatened the wife that if she cuts her hair like she threatens from time to time, I'm growing a long G-T(facial) and rubber banding it! :d


    edit: growing, not going LOL. :bash:

    I've done that! All it took was one look in the mirror! :huh:

    Better off carrying a brush and fixin' it when you get to where you're going! :lol:

    LOL Greg,


    And I had a hell of a laugh yesterday. When we were on this benefit ride, two bikes in front of me was a very, very heavy guy on a Road King. His pony tail in bands was down the middle of his back, his beard which I assume would hang to his chest was flying in the breeze on both sides of his neck. That would drive me nuts!

    I ended up behind him then which I was glad, his buddy who was in front of me was afraid of his bike (Suzuki) and would back off on turns and then speed back up on the straight aways. Drove me nuts. I almost past him on the outside of a curve and not on purpose! :huh: He finally missed a turn and I ended up behind his friend who I appreciated because he could ride and his bike purred!

    On a side note, I threw some sparks when I laid my bike into a corner and drug the foot boards. :hail: The wife didn't like it none and the guy behind me thought I drug my pipes because that's where he thought the sparks came from but upon checking, it was just my foot boards. :d
