I wasn't fond of the upper body postions displayed, but they are way faster than me, so who am I to talk shit? :)
It rides like a motard, basically. Tall and short (wheelbase). But not too tall, or even as tall as it looks. It leans nicely. :D Does sidewalks nicely too. ;D
Very confident footprint. Just keep leaning if you go in too hot. Be careful starting out on slippery surfaces (like concrete [roll] ) as it tends to drift out of stops if you're not going perfectly straight. :o
Good pics will be forthcoming. It needs a bath, and I need time to do some good shots. So far all I have are crappy phone pics...
Grandpa bike, in traveling trim:

Determined rider. Shoulda put the passenger in the saddlebags, though. :D

very nice
Hhahahahahahaha [laugh] [laugh] [laugh] [laugh] [laugh]
You bought that from Chris my buddy at Extreme in CastleRock. I've ridden it.
Very nicely appointed,
He thought it was a sport bike too but quickly found out that despite his illusions of grandeur its IS a touring bike [cheeky]
Man, that's cool. I really like the black rims and that you could stuff the munckin in the side bags!!!!!

Yep. ;D Nice guy. Easy to deal with, and I loved the bike.
I know it's not a sportbike. The riding position fits my style better (being a mountain biker), and it fits my needs. It also handles worlds better than my monster ever did, even with all my mods and upgrades. Could be the Ohlins stuff, could be that the position feels more natural to me.

That's awesome. I may have to re-create something like that, but the twins are too big for those dinky plastic cases. I wonder how many stuffed animals they could get into the bags... :D
This is a bit better of a pic. Cleaned the lens on my phone camera. [roll]

Well not that I see a cleaned higher quality picture..... I take back everything I said before ;D ;D ;D
JK looks even better 8) 8) 8)
Looking good!
I wanna see if I can grind some off the bottom of the saddle bags! Let me take her for a spin!

The center stand gets in the way before you get to the bags. Ask me how I know.... [evil]
Uh oh, I think there might be two in the family soon [evil]

Going to Dallas?
wow! nice job manny!
You're back! Hi. :D
I think I've figured out the center-stand problem. It was a ride height adjustment issue. Raised it a bunch and it did the same canyon at the same speed with no dragging, but I raised it too much and it handled funny. Just fine-tuning the height now.

Not possible. ;D
And I'll plug the Do No Harm (http://www.donoharm.us/) site, 'cause it's cool.
Yup, heading to Tejas!
