    In the dirt?


    Wellll, at 500 lbs+ it certainly is NOT a dirt bike. Did I hit every forest service road I could find? Yep. Spooked a black bear on one near Cades Cove in the Great Smoky Mountains National Park.

    Watch those knobbies on asphalt!

    Hell that thing gets like 60 MPG. I had a Honda 250 when I first joined the Army. Rode all the way up the east coast on like $20 in gas. It was fun to ride but I like the bigger stuff.

    Call me old-at-heart, I ride 1983 FXRT Sport Glide....need new saddlebags (they were beat up) and the fairing was just way too heavy for that small front end.

    Very nice ride. I always liked that praying mantis look the yamahas have.

    You got the praying part right. I would be praying I could straighten my back out after riding in that position...:biggrin_2554:
