  1. I survived an IRS audit. It cost me thousands but I was able to demonstrate that I correct down to the penny. After a 2 year rectal probe by the Treasury Department all I got was a letter stating "we will take no further action on that years return." My accountant said that was as close to an apology as I was going to get.

  2. Looks like every bit as much "if not more" than last year, I think it is safe to say that 30 will be there. I talked to Glen today and I am going out to his place on Sat to get the game plan going.

    I have most of Saturday available if you need any help. I also have my new pistol if you want to do some shootin.

  3. I went with the Madstad and Givi combo. During the summer I prefer the original screen with the Madstad all the way down and all the way back. Lots of good clean air.

    Milage with the big screen is about 46 to 48 at 70 to 75 indicated compared to 50 to 52 with the stock screen. If you weigh more than 140 lbs consider going with beefier springs to control the fork dive when braking. Set up from the factory it can be a handful in strong cross winds and it is a little slow to turn in on the corners but raising the forks about 1/2 inch and getting a fork brace makes her one sweet handling bike.

  4. Bought my wee new and it was my very first bike. I had heard that it was not a good beginner bike as it is too top heavy for newbs at slow speeds. Well I have survived for 22,000 miles and handling this big girl has never been a problem. I'm a large fellow so I upgraded the front springs and may soon have the rear shock rebuilt for my fat ass. The wind management from the original wind screen is absolutely horrible. Speeds above 45mph can produce migrane-like headaches. But that is an easy fix.

    I am a fairly conservative rider but I have had little problems keeping up with all my buds that owned the big vee. I have loaded it up and ridden freeways and back roads and never felt that I needed more hp. I have the zuk gel seat and it was comfortable for my longest trip of 400 miles. Having never ridden a sport bike, I have no idea how it handles compared to a sportier bike.

    Good luck with your purchase and enjoy the ride.

  5. 555 South of 78 was relatively gravel free and little to no traffic all the way to the river. There were several spots with poop on the road and some goats were running loose just North of 550 but all in all it was an excellent ride.
