Title: Look at what I'm riding while my Termis are installed . . .
Post by: alligator on May 18, 2009, 01:33:05 PM
So I'm having Termis installed today, and my dealer was nice enough to give me a loaner to ride.  This is a huge plus since the dealer is an hour away and bumming a ride off of someone to get home from the dealer is a lot to ask.

In any event, while I'm waiting for my 1100, here is what I'm riding:

It's a V-Star 650 (I think).

It's nice, but slow, heavy, and not very interesting compared with my 1100.  Hey, maybe the Harley riders will wave now.

I figured it was just a trick to get me to appreciate my Monster even more.  Here, ride this slow p.o.s. and you'll be grateful for what you already have.

Damn, that  thing is a moose.  You are right though.  Beats bumming a ride.

OK. We got picks of the "loaner" ride... I hope we see picks of your 1100 after the Termi install!

I think I would have a hard time trying to ride that or any other bike immediately out in the streets without getting used to it.   :(
