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!
The motorcycle is no longer the hobby, the skill has become the hobby.

Power does not compare to skill.  What good is power without the skill to use it?

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:

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:
