One week on '08, Orange of course.
One complaint so far, the Tail is leaving black marks on the seat, left side only. It's not difficult to clean, but definitely annoying. I don't see any adjustments.

You just need to lower the passenger seating area slightly.


Go to Tennessee, and offer Ft_Bstrd a pillion ride.

Oh yeah ...

Welcome Mark !

My black seat shows the same exact thing, of course it's less noticeable on mine.

Because it's the faster color.

It's a triple tail; run it in the other 2 positions once in a while.

I wrap a bandana around the triple tail.

Speaking of finish, How do you guys keep the frame/swingarm paint clean? I've got cleaners and gas and other sorts of things on mine and it seems to stain for awhile then eventually go away. By the way my Uly is Orange(Not by choice , I got a good deal but I'm gonna say they're faster till I'm blue in the face now)

I fold a small towel in half and lay it on the seat...when my Beemer buddies break down they have something to kneel on..

I have the mount for the top box, so only forward and up are available for the tail.

I figured that Orange was fastest because it was difficult to catch one. I could have caught a black or blue Uly very easily. I had to stalk the Orange.

I hear tell that most of the orange guys usually put a pair of their pantyhose between the tail and the seat.

I have the faster black model, you see, so i wouldn't know.

I can understand that. A thong would not give the coverage needed.

You have to intercept a black Uly rider to get the panty hose off of its rider first! Not a problem since our orange ones are so much faster!

Etennuly,

So the BAW is really to increase the drag on your orange Uly, allowing a fair match-up against the other Tennessee riders on black Ulys ?


And you really should stop picking on Ft_Bstrd like that.

Well kinda. But mostly they like to follow me in the case of a bad weather event.

All-righty then! He has been to the school of HTFU though, so I figured he could handle it. If you feel it is important, my apologies to the fat one! ..............................Now................. ...HTFU!!
