Why can't someone figure out how to telivise all this good stuff ? I would do it but I'm way to stupid and lazy. | ||

That's ok, we forgive you Dave....  | ||

Can I take my 9sx up to Mid Ohio for vintage days, and claim its a sportster?  | ||

This could get really interesting. Remember the 883 series? Still some of the coolest production based racers ever. | ||

It's easier to ask for forgiveness than for permission. | ||

I may have to plan my day trip over to Daytona around this. I would really like to see it. I wonder how many bike will participate. Anyone have any idea how much it will cost to get in and watch? | ||

The new XR1200 is about 110lbs heavier than a Thruxton.. | ||

If they were stock I'd back the XR. | ||

I wouldn't think that the Thruxton could really hang with a 1200 if they were both stock. I have always liked the Thruxtons but they seem underpowered. Maybe they will be using an 883? |
