    I love my Staintune exhausts. Does yours have a Power Commander? You'll want one to smooth things out, especially with the aftermarket cans.

    Time to start modding it!

    Nice bike. I'm sure you'll get heaps of enjoyment out of it. And it seems to be a magical one at that, being able to remain upright without the apparent use of a side or center stand.
    Time you enjoy wasting is not wasted time.

    Thanks guys! Definitely liking her, it's very weird going from the Ducati to her. Missing the steering damper and shes a little tall for me. I need to get the seat shaved out a little so I can comfortably plant my feet. No PC but I can definitely see where one would make a difference.

    Nice man! I really like that color too. I will say the lipstick red is growing on me.

    Nice. Time to plan your trip to Laguna Seca for MotoGP!

    I wouldn't touch the seat. You'll get used to it and your ass will appreciate the. Padding.

    I rarely think of motorcycles without a little yearning. They are about moving, and humans, I think, yearn to move – it’s in our cells, in our desires. We quiet our babies with cyclic movement, and we quiet ourselves by going.
