Glock 36 .45ACP

Amen!

Dude in full leathers 'fraid of a little snake...now that's funny!

I've had mine for a few years and like it allot. About the only negative thing I can say about it is it gets real hot, real fast on warm days if you're not moving. Never had any real issues with it. Plenty of power, plenty of speed, and handles great for as heavy as it is. Sad to say I will be selling it sometime in the near future after a few more payments. At my age with a lower back fusion, 3 shoulder surgeries, and recently a new hip, I am looking for something with a more "standard" riding position. The "sport" riding position is just a little too cramped for me lately.

What an :asshole:. That man doesn't deserve that badge he's wearing!

First thing you might want to do is have her ride with someone that is used to passengers so she can get the feel for it before riding with you.

There ya go...one of the many reasons I don't like nor trust the police. The badge they wear is nothing but a license to lie...and when it's your word against theirs, guess who will win.

+1

Good looking bike, glad you're liking it. I'll have to stop by and check it out sometime. Been kicking around the idea of finding my last bike, something like a Concours 1400, ST1300, something like that, but the more I look at the bigger touring bikes the more I like my VFR. Guess I just need to ride one and see how they feel.

I love mine. Traded in a '04 GSXR750 on it. Can't say it handles as well, and not near as fast, but you gotta love the sound of the V4!!

Ok, I'll play. Here's a pic of my tire from my Dragon trip last year. Noticed every time I pulled over I smelled burnt rubber and realized it was my tires. Have never melted tires before, probably doing it wrong Been trying to work on body position so as to not have to lean so far into corners. Second pic is me trying to keep up with the guy on the Wing. He is a Precision Riding Instructor and rides that Wing better than most people I know with sport bikes, really made my first trip to the Dragon an unforgettable one, and showed me I have allot to learn. Had and old GS750 way back that I would have to hang off of to corner, but for some reason it doesn't come as naturally with the VFR...maybe getting old

Fully loaded, including a 12-pack I bought along the way, for a week stay at the Gap last year. 450 miles of rain to get there, and still raining for my first trip down the Dragon. Rain covers worked for the Tank and Tail bags, everything in the side bags were in huge Zip-Loc bags. The $100 Tourmaster rain suit was awesome...can't say the same for the Dry-star gloves. After 450 miles, the only things that were wet were my hands.

I have a Taurus PT1911 and love it. I can make one hole with 8 rounds at 10 yrds. Although when it came to carry, I thought it WAY too heavy. Did allot of research and ended up buying a Glock 36, sub-compact .45acp. Cannot beat the weight, durability, and accuracy of the Glock, only weighs 29oz empty. Although not quite as accurate as the 1911, still more than adequate for CCW.
