Death before Mini-van.... But those lil Scion Xb's I will make an exception for because of the shared name. (I so want to scam a set of the logos off said mommytruck) |

"I know bikers who refer to their bikes as scooters."
yea ain't that the truth. where do you think the phrase scooter trash comes from, not some guy on a vespa.

Ft_bstrd,
Yes! She pulled up next to me, rolled down the window and said "is that a motorcycle?". I said its a bad-ass motorcycle! Then she said "I thought it was a scooter or something".
Might as well kicked me in the nuts. |

Back in the day [early '60's] i was in the Navy in Bremerton, Wa. and had a Norton Atlas. Went on a weeks leave and the top motor mount bolt vibrated out [imagine that!] so i stopped in a small Honda shop to see if i could get a new bolt. the "mechanic" asked me if was a 2 stroke or 4 stroke!!!!! later the same trip i pulled in at a friends house in Salem, Or. and his mom asked me if that was a "real motorcycle or was it a Honda"? Ignorance is bliss so don't be too hard on the uniformed. my current ride is an '06 Uly. probably my favorite all time street bike. |

hey Ft--bstrd. i assume you all got back from the track day ok. we had a great time and went from there to n/e Ga. and rode that area for 2 days and then rode over to the world championship trials in Tenn.
Track day, mountain riding, and a little touring, on the Uly in 1 week. great do it all bike. |

Yep, we got back fine. NE GA = Motorcycle Heaven.
What was weird was that I didn't ride for two weeks after Barber. It was tough to get my brain back down to street pace. |

Im going to Suches in the morning(from ATL) on my new uly.
Objective: not the think I'm back @ the track aboard my NineR.
I cant get Barber outta my head. I keep seeing the turns and that 999 passing me like im backing-up. |

Good luck with that, Matt.
It will be interesting to get your impressions on how "less capable" the Uly is compared to the 9R. |

I dont have my full leathers with me.
I also forgot to bring my nuts.
I cant wait to dust off my sparky pucks on the ULY, but them dunflops is scurry. I have got a set of decent take off Pilot power 2cts with oranjello's name on them. |

Just swap wheels. You can have them on in less than an hour.
Only problem is that pesky rear pulley. You were looking for a reason to do the the belt conversion anyway, right? |
