Skip the dragon,  There is WAY to much stupidity on that road.  Lots of truckers, cops and bikes sliding into your lane.  IMHO it is a stupid place to ride unless it is midnight ( :

I have heard that more than a few times!!  Haha I think we are going to NC this summer to visit some friends (without the bikes) but we will cover some ground.  I'd just like to ride for longer than 4-5 months out of the year.  Especially with the new 1100evo.

Awesome! Thanks guys!  It is 12:19am and i am so stoked that i am not even tired after a long day at work. 

I did have a question for you all.  I have read A LOT about the 14T front sprocket.  The salesman said on the 2013 the gearing is not as tall as it used to be.  I guess I will know tomorrow when i ride it home but, JW, is it better to swap the 15 out up front or do it the other way and swap the rear and get a new chain?  Just curious.  Thanks!!

No, it's still incredibly tall.  Also, I noticed on the Demo the bike had a really strong vibration in the pegs at 60ish mph.  On the Demo ride I couldn't find an RPM range it liked at that speed.  It may have been a bum bike but on mine I had them put the 14 tooth on before I took delivery and now it cruises fine with no weird vibrations.

I don't know if it was just because i was so elated and excited on my ride home yesterday, but i really did not mind the gearing.  Even starting in 1st gear was not bad.  I may still have the 14T put on at 600 but i'm not too sure.

In that case, I guess you won't mind riding a 5-speed then.

I put the 14 tooth on my M1100 Evo and it is tremendously more fun to ride.  And it still goes to fast for the streets lol.  I actually find myself only using a couple of gears in the canyons.   

[DexterMorgan]

Ok, so after riding about 50 miles today, I am going to have them put the 14T on at 600.  I am definitely seeing what you guys are talking about.  I could live with it how it is but i agree, slow speeds will be much more enjoyable.  God i love this thing!!!

Don't believe anything that guy says. You ever seem the clip of the HD rider going off the Dragon?  Yeah, that was him.

No way!

Oh i forgot.  I took a few pictures with my D5000 tonight (nothin special). 

I was also messing around with colorwash, a cool app for the MAC.  Let me know what you guys think....

They are, but the Carbon Termignonis are going to look soooo much better!
