  1. i dont own but say these while shopping http://www.amazon.com/CARBON-KEVLAR-Motorcycle-Leather-Gloves/dp/B001A1V9ZI/ref=pd_sim_auto_1
  2. OK, here's my 2 cents. going from a inline 4 to a in line SIX, i said i would never go BACK to a 4 , well I didn't , I got a vtwin, granted its a 1000, but its has been the best one yet ( IMO ) for me. I'm now looking for another on , this time a DL1000/650 ( keeping the TLS ). The torque, the sound ( D&D ) got to love it. + i've always liked having something a little different , the gladius is the first bike i look at every time i go to the shop
  3. just wondering, i'm goin to be (sic) galavanting around wva sept 5,6,7,8 looking for twisties.
  4. another question. is it true that if columbus get a PRO football team, that cincinnati and cleveland will want one too?

  6. what are the most popular replacement brake pads? i have a tl1000s
  7. ran it monday from 800 to 7 , no real loose gravel , but kinda ruff, not very smooth of a surface, imo need some more real hot days and some traffic to SMOOTH it out some.
  8. 255 556 536 147 145 Ride Monday 8/24/2009 anyone interested?
  9. Use a periscope to see over that tank bag? no , i'm six three I used to have a TLS. At one point, I owned 3 (ebay horror story for another time). I loved that motor, hated the rear suspension. Your 97 was the birth of one of the best motors to ever be put in a motorcycle IMO. thats why i was asking you before about the dl650, after riding the tl1000, i didnt think i would be happy with anything but another big twin, have my eye on a k4 dl1000 ( will most likely do 98-99% ON road.)
  10. . Did the crane lower you onto the seat? no crane , i squeezed in ALL by myself. now getting of that was interesting. I hope you had a nice time in.... Where'd you go?? pittsburgh- urichsville oh- north bend state park wva- all the way across wva on rt 50 to mt. storm wva - pgh Was this a tractor pull event? oh and i DID win the tractor pull , ya know the torque these big v-twins have......

  15. this is what i tell them; shutup, sit down, and hold on...... now seriously; i think the best advise , besides what was said before, i'm alwasys COMPLETELY ready to go ( helmet, glasses, gloves etc.) and on bike before she gets on, and make them stepup onto the peg and then swing their leg over.
  16. hi justin,
