I have turned to the dark side

[Mom]

Yay for you, but I won't hold my breath! Just reminded by a fellow KBer that KTL took like a million years to fix her bike (think it was 2 months)
May have to send Mr Hellokitty in with his "cross face" on...

I have become VERY intolerant of BS in recent years. I fully expect to have to really stamp my feet when my curtains dont arrive on Tuesday as promised

Curtains are one thing, bikes are yet another. If it is a safety thing then wait with impatience. If it is incomeptence, make a BIG fuss

[GrayWolf]

Yeah I was exaggerating (sp?) but I do feel like I need another gear, like it is working harder than it should.... I dunno... help me out here, I am trying to find a reason that I need this new bike I am getting left behind though and I am thrashing the 750. It goes well on the twisty roads but not so flash on the motorway.

Most importantly, the Harley is fun! I was nervous and laughing just like when I got my first ever bike.

Hehehehe Ya still going to be 'left behind' kitty... it's the joy of a 'cruiser' style bike.. I loved my 20yrs + on big twins including BM's and Guzzi's. It's a blast to just enjoy the ride... if you want to get really serious? and even though I am not a HD fan, I admit the XR1200 flat tracker goes damn well and handles!!!!

[GrayWolf]

and you answered your own question.

I was the same, never going to ride a harley let alone buy one.

Then I rode one.
Then I bought one.

I am still grinning when ever I ride it. Even to work. That is the best reason to get the bike, you love it. All the rest is window dressing.

Hahahaha yup never the same once you bought one... c'mon wysper, admit it, it isnt a grin its a vibration induced grimmace, hahahahha

Yeah, but sometimes the vibrations make the grimmace curve up, so it could be considered a grin

[Gorgeousplak]

My teeth are still grinding a wee bit. Is that a Harley thing?

[hellokitty]

it scares most people, apparently I am the only one that thinks he is a cutie....

[Edbear]

That's 'cause you know that under that scary, gruff demeanor, he's a big pussycat!

[hellokitty]

Well, the Sporty arrived last night and it is beautiful - the new paint look amazing! I will take some pictures when it is light and add them to my albums. I can't wait to see it in the daylight with its sparkly paint.

[Maha]

Nice, I will put the jug on and make a cup of tea while I wait.

[wysper]

Yay! I am stoked for you. I reckon you will love it! Can't wait for the pics.

[hellokitty]

I have added pictures to my album.
I don't know how to put them up on this thread...

Yeah I am not 100% sure about the saddle bags - a bit gay looking - has a little tassle that I will cut off it if I decide to keep them. I hate wearing a backpack and I like the convienience of saddle bags. perhaps the ones off the Honda would look better?

Loving the fuel cap blingage!
