No shit. I need to get in better with him. Right now we are just "e-friends" and I'm working on doing some writing for him.

Hell yeah. Get to it.

Looks good, but I don't get the fuel tank......Yeah it looks classic and everything, but how do you grip that bike with your thighs? Yeah I know you don't always have to, but it'd be nice to have a fuel tank that is actually shaped to accomodate getting squeezed by your thighs, like the tanks on most sportbikes.

gripping the tank with your knee is not needed.

I didn't mean racing or body position or anything like that.......I'm just talking basic street riding. It helps you absorb the bumps and take the weight off your back........As well as brace yourself during accel/decel :shrug:

it kinda makes sense that it wouldnt have them being as how its more of a flat tracker rep

I rode with a guy who has one of these yesterday.

I consider myself a decent rider...not super fast, but not slow. I'm in the intermediate on the track, and don't want to consider EVER being in advanced....because those guys are fuggin NUTS!!!

Anyway....the guy yesterday was doing VERY well on this. I had to slow only a LITTLE when behind him in the tight stuff....and when he was behind me he was always in my mirrors.

I was VERY impressed with the bike....VERY.


However, the pipes were scraped all to hell because of the crappy clearance.

Other than that.....WOW

time for a termi swap
