THIS is Tonik in full cartoon caricature...

Yea. I had one of those too. It was a real chick magnet.

I have been without kids for almost 2 weeks and the Mrs. left Thursday to pick them up. This has 3 days of absolute heaven. Bonus was the drunk rich guy sitting next to me at Rooster's last night, he bough the entire place 4 rounds of drinks.

Want to go for a ride this weekend? Oh wait...

One way ticket to Antarctica?

It's not registered so I just took it around the block - I live right off of Wilson road so I went around a few streets and down Wilson which is a 45 zone. Observations: I am not use to this riding position lol! I haven't had anything like this for about 4 years now - my feet don't remember where to go yet, had trouble shifting gears and finding the rear brake. The clutch is heavy as fuck! And it doesn't let out until near the end of the full release point of fhe clutch lever. Was hitting high RPM's because I expected the clutch to engage but it had more travel to go yet. The left bar feels lower than the right - I think it must've been bent in a fall-over incident. Also interesting was getting use to the lack of motorcycle in my field of view - after running cruisers for so long I'm use to having a lot of stuff in face like handle bars, speedo, tank, etc. On this bike I see right over everything and I just see the open road. The little cornering I had to do felt very nice - I remembered why I liked the handling of the sport bike - short/tight wheel base and wheel dimensions make for nice cornering. Title transfer/registration tomorrow - can't wait to put some more hours on it. I'm gonna get a on-board recording rig too - this bike and I are going to see some places

You will grow to love that seating position. I went from a cruiser to a Yamaha FZ1 and I felt very uncomfortable for a while. It took me a whole riding season to get used to it, seating position, shifting, etc.. All I can suggest is ride, ride, ride! I rode with a seasoned sport bike rider who helped me with a lot with my riding style which really smoothed things out for me and built up my confidence. Congrats on the purchase!

Sounds good! PIRC 27th?

Adventure Riders, Great event. Check the schedule, http://www.wailinwayneweekend.com/

I'll take it !

Learn how now that you have the VFR. It's setup perfectly to do so and don't let it go to waste otherwise you might as well ended up with a Katana

should have kept this along with the gold wing, and I am pretty sure in your hands, it would have looked like it came off the showroom even today

@Tonik

Reade if its a VFR the person below is the one man you need to PM for sure before u do anything

are u referring to http://www.wiremybike.com/ ?

Tried all that. Swimming, tennis, basketball, bike rides, deer chasing....they just keep going. They are not human I tell you.

I'm sure you're right...thus I'll take the good times when they're available.

Congrats progrmr, she's a beauty

Jeez dude, that's a recipe for eventually going kersplat someplace.

Lemme guess, charging system is not charging?

Any lifted spirits Tonik had built up are now thoroughly squashed. Be prepared for angry Tonik again for the foreseeable future.

Isn't that redundant?

What Huh? Just what do you want your Grandpa to drive? It's a chick magnet.
