My neighbour has one of those things.
My neighbour has become my best friend this winter.
I will supply my neighbour with many cold beers when the summer comes. Hell, I will even supply my neighbour with my wife if he promises to keep bringing his fancy snow throwing machine over to my driveway every time it snows.
15 mm of rain on Sunday turning to snow in the afternoon with 15-20 centimeters forecast. I can't take it anymore. I need to ride!

Parkway Blue Bags on a silver S2T!

I think I will stick out a bit at homecoming.... LOL














Looking at these pics I realized something. The 1 inch of new snow we got last night is gone and my truck is very dirty....

Nice!! btw the lids are Black Sapphire.Parkway Blue looks purple...no mistake about it. Black Sapphire Pearl looks almost black...a very very dark color with a hint of deep blue/purple.

Thanks, I was not sure on the color. They look different depending on the light. I am going to leave them that color until I repaint the bike. Frank

Very nice. Is that a carbon rear inner fender? Mine's black...I'm jealous! : )

Your situation could be worse. I have riding weather and a bike that's ready to go...but the doc says I have to stay on the HD (it was a fight to get him to let me ride at all) for four to six weeks till my knee recovers from surgery. Grrrrr. I have a post-op meet with him Thursday, I'm going to play the "why should I ride the 850lb bike and not the 400 lb bike" card and see what happens!

Thanks Ratbuell.

Yes the rear fender is carbon fiber as is the air filter cover. Sorry to hear about your knee, I am headed in for shoulder surgery in a couple of weeks. Good luck with the Doc.

Very rare! Original cost was over 20K. 1200cc Harley Davidson Motor, 90hp, Adjustable Shocks, Performance Factory Polished Wheels, Stainless Vance & Hines after market Exhaust, (have original exhaust), K&N air filtration system, Jetted, New Rear Tire, New Front Brake Pads & Rotor, (have original rotor), This is a Hand Built Eric Buell Bike before he sold out to HD. Garaged for its entire life. Has less than 11k miles. I have been told by several dealers that this bike is a "Keeper". Look at the pic... Notice how the word Motorcycles is miss-spelled. A true hand built Eric Buell Bike.
This ThunderBolt has gobs of torque, use third gear all day long, tons of giggles. Very fast, sounds tough, handles great, extremely reliable, lots of fun, it gets lots of looks and comments.
There are a few pin sized bubbles on the factory paint, beyond that there is nothing else to nick-pick.

Will Trade for a nice VW Thing or three of the same type of pit bikes.

I seemed to remember a picture thread for the S2. Did it get archived? Lynn and I went out for a little ride today. Only 175 miles. We stayed away from the mountain passes as they are still too cold yet. I was worried when I sold my FLH I would miss it but when riding the S2 I am sure I made the right decision. I love that bike! It handled the high winds we had today with no problems.

the last dyno run we got 122 and 99 foot lbs,
I have the top end off right now and am bumping up the comp. to 11 to 1 with a lighter piston.

I think i might change to the zero grav wind screen.
the wind screen on lower photo is one i tried 3 or 4 years ago, worked ok but looked like a honda bolt

BG
kooks can and stepped pipe

this is one i tried 3 or 4 years ogo worked ok did like the way i looked on the bike very bolt on honda
