Cool ride, I've been looking at them and Busa's for the straight and flat here in ND, but I'm thinking I may end up going more GasMan style.

Dang! The first thing I thought about is all that gear I sold back when I bought the Husky.

I even lost my ass selling my Pitbull stands on this forum. Now I have to buy them all over again!

look for a cycle cat rear stand, it's unique that it's a1 person stand and great for heavy bikes
Already got a Pitbull. Getting more comfortable using it alone. Been having my wife hold the bike up while I put the stand on it.

Traction control on it is very effective. When it kicks on, you can hardly feel it working. Granted, I haven't tried slamming the throttle open. I just finished breaking it in and I'm a pretty conservative rider anyway.

I hear you can't spin the rear wheel on gravel on the highest TC setting.

I have yet to activate the ABS.

I was thinking the same. I thought it was stretched at first, but no one would do that on this forum.. right? Nice bike.

All these new bikes posts.. they're making me want to jump on finding a sport bike.. luckily this dentist bill brings me back down to earth.

Cans are huge from any angle. Got my eye on Brock's CT duals, but the money won't be available for a while.

It is awesome on the highway. 60 mph feels like you're barely moving.

Not stretched, never will be. Not my thing!

Made the pics a bit bigger.

Haha. Went through the same thing last year. Sold everything except my 1-piece, gloves and boots. Had to buy new Pitbulls and still waiting to buy a new Dainese jacket for cruising in jeans to run errands or whatever. Picked up some sweet cruising Astars boot-shoe things so I don't hafta use my "race" boots all the time.

I did hang onto enough street gear that I'm ok in that department. A* jacket, Joe Rocket gloves, Icon jeans, Danner Acadia boots. I also have an Aerostich Roadcrafter. The Danners aren't "real" riding boots, but they're plenty tough. They survived my 50 MPH slide last year and only needed some new laces.

The only real thing I was missing are stands. I still need a front stand, but I'll pick one up when it's time for new tires.

Ya, I still need to grab a front stand. Man, I miss having a front stand. It's a bitch to clean the front wheel now. Stand or jacket, stand or jacket. Tough call.

Or $2 piece of rebar and 2 jack stands that you already have in the garage (but thru front wheel instead)
