Only Yama could Sum it up in a 3 word Post. :laugh:

Don't be mad that I have a kick-ass bike and you smell like An.
Such is life... I kick ass... You smell like ass. :dunno_white:
Congradulations! Enjoy!
Dude, that's a mean lookin cruiser :o :o Now the real question. What's the stupidest thing you've done on it so far???
I have a list... :oops:
Rode it home 35 miles with the front tire at 15 PSI and the rear at 20 PSI. :cookoo:
Missed nearly a whole day of work without actually calling in... :icon_confused:
I went over redline it in Nuetral... :cry:
And I've gone 110 (ind) twice... But, I think the speedo is pretty far off... So, that's probably more like... 65 MPH. ;)
And... I've started it in gear and dropped the clutch, almost dropping the bike...... .TWICE. :icon_rolleyes: :mad:
I'm deaf as hell... I need some baffles for these damn straight pipes. :o
:laugh: :laugh: On my first ride with the GS I stalled at every single light except one, where I over-revved it and almost hit a car :oops: :oops: Ehh posted redline gives you about 500-1k rpm safety net for short slips :icon_rolleyes:
I rode with a guy on a sporster last week and he told me we were doin 100 the whole time........I was like 'Dude I was in 5th at 4-5k rpms the whole time, no f%$king chance, MAYBE 70'

Man... I gotta learn all about a new bike... Someone finally pointed me at some baffles... And I re-mapped the PC3, so it's less rich... Hopefully it'll keep getting better MPG than it did when I first got it. :o 76 miles was 3 gallons... :o That's like car mileage. :cry:
Its like a car with 2 less wheels. Thats a cruiser for ya :laugh:
It really is... 1.5L is a lot bigger than a Geo. :o
And it still manages to makes less HP than my bike.
<tugs on own junk>

Ohh BURN! This thread may get interesting afterall... :icon_twisted:
-Turd.
Yeah... It's only like 80 HP and 90 lbs or torque... On a ~650 lbs bike...
But, it's damn fast and damn cool looking... AND damn comfortable. :thumb:
So do you have any pictures of your own to show off?
Not yet... I'll get some... :oops:
My camera sucks, so I don't use it much... My buddy has a nice camera.
Got it. Don't worry about posting pics, RV, I found some pics of your bike. . .
(http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y69/jaked1166/hog.jpg)
That's the brown version... Mine is ORANGE!
I have pics... But, you can't see them. :flipoff: OK... They're trapped on my buddy's camera. :icon_confused:
only thing i don't dig is the shaft...I'm getting to really hate shaft drive (damn CX tops 105mph...)

Good looking bike btw
Yeah... I've been wearing earplugs... Still loud... It seems to reverberate inside my helmet. ???
Anyway... My baffles showed up a couple days ago, so I just gotta put 'em in. :icon_mrgreen:

That's a REALLY sharp ride!
Congratulations!
I'm going look at a new bike Saturday.
A dealership is talking me into a 07 Ninja 650r. :dunno_white:
It's a REALLY good deal, about 800 below sticker and I think the financing will work. (ALWAYS worry about the financing part.)
Again, PRETTY bike. :thumb:
Nice looking bike, for a Kawa :icon_mrgreen: the colour is nice.
You still look like a power ranger, just a middle age one now you've got a cruiser. :laugh: :laugh:
That should so be the next TV show. Power Rangers: Mid-life crisis :laugh: :laugh:
Nice Bike Rvert :thumb:

Thanks! :cheers:
Good luck on the financing... I got hosed by it once... The bank was closed and they sold the bike to someone else before the bank opened in the morning... :icon_confused:

You know, Suzuki worked on it too... That's where the Marauder came from.
And yes... Thanks... I know I'm old. :icon_confused:

Thankfully I can't afford a new bike for the moment otherwise I'd probably have a cruiser or something that has hard luggage as an option. :icon_rolleyes:
I've even taken the clip-on's off my bike & put the standard bars back on.
My GS has hard luggage... :icon_razz:
i Love it RVertigo . Its the most perfect colour ever! :thumb: Such a mean beast , no wonder u named it so well .
Must sound like hell on earth with no Baffles !
I finally put baffles in it... Still loud enough to set off car alarms, but much closer to a tollerable level.
I think the color was what convinced me to get that one. :icon_mrgreen:

The day if u pandy it , wont be a good day , ive come close . but caught and held the bike , as its not very heavy . that meany tho must weigh a ton :thumb:
the weight really isn't bad. i've sat on a few bikes that are listed to be 650lbs or more. fairly easy to pull up off the stand though. i'm not super strong, i think it's the physics. a cruiser sits lower. center of gravity is lower. you don't feel the weight as much. imagine if your GS weighed 650lbs?? it'd be a real pain to move around. am i right RV????
well put sir :bowdown:
You're right jserio... It's heavy as hell, but it's easy to keep upright... Nowhere near as easy to push around in the garage though. :icon_confused:
I was backing it into my parking spot a few weeks ago and nearly Pandied it. :o I don't think I'd be able to pick it up, but the strength of my chicken-leg kept her upright. :thumb:
... And if I had a lawn, I'd be yelling at kids... You becha!
i would hope vert if you had a lwn, youd jkeep the f%$king thing out of or off of it :thumb:

I hope you're heavy and over 40... Only fat, old people ride cruisers. :icon_mrgreen:
