To OP.... I don't know you, didn't know you were gone in the first place.... but welcome back! I must admit, I think your new bike is kinda ugly. Don't get me wrong, I have nothing against "cruisers" or standard bikes. I just think that one is like, too futuristic looking if that makes sense. To many sharp edges/lines, looks blocky to me. Kind of like one of those hopped up scooters that I see some 45 year old fat woman riding 50mph down a highway in Florida. But hey, if you're happy with it that's all that matters. Be safe on the cold roads out there!
