Not too shabby, Mike. 'Course I can't say I'm jealous. I don't like to travel any faster on two wheels than I can pedal - uphill.

I bought this for a everyday cruiser, providing its not raining, in North Carolina I can ride most of the year. My ride to work is about 12 Miles or so. We will probably take it for some short weekend drives as well (Obviously Ill be changing out the seat). All of the reviews Ive read on the bike rate it as a great mid-size cruiser, and with the 805cc engine it has plenty of power for the short trips to the beach, about 2.5hrs. Im 5'9" about 170lbs. Typically I would prefer a bigger engine size 1200cc or so but for the short everyday commute I think this will do just fine.... thanks! Mike |

Picked up the bike
I got the bike yesterday! We drove to Charlotte North Carolina to pick it up which was about and hour and a half drive. Everything was perfect with the bike, sounded great, deep and throaty! It didnt take me anytime at all to get familiar with it and it handled like a dream on the way home, I am very pleased with it!
Today its at the dealership getting state inspection and some new turn signals on the front (someone took them off for a more custom look). I cant wait to get it back and hit the wind!!!!!!!! Mike |
