Well it was 1000kms weekend but made it to Barrie and traded in my nightster and then rode back to Huntsville and spent the night there. After 700kms i was worn out. Got up and motored on home the final 300ish today.

Funny things you think of as you ride along HWY 400.. jesus look at that smoking hunk of crap pulling that trailer full of furniture.. i should change lanes in case he drops that engine... followed 5kms later by,, holy cow there something you don't see very often,, a complete bed blocking the middle lane of a 6 lane freeway...

Anyways heres a poor pic i took with cell phone on ride home

Nice! Enjoy the new bike!

I came across a large powerboat lying across the road on ride. It fell off the trailer and went surfing down the highway ... a long skid mark of fiberglass

Nice ride, I love the blue and white combo!
Who sold it to you from Barrie?
Nice to see other Ontario Buellers...

Only things i would change on bike is convertibars and pegs. The 2 inches higher would help my neck and the 1 inch on pegs a little more room.

Bike is one of the most comfy ive ridden. Ive a pelvis thats been broken in 3 places and its picky about how i sit on it and i did 500kms on this bike in a day and me ass is fine.

And man that engine is sweet
