    I'm leaning that way. The price difference would pay for a lot of farkles and a suspension tuned for my fat butt.

    you better do! :D


    yup. Even if you are planning on a lot of suspension upgrades, I would go with the cheaper one: it seems to have a lot of the important stuff done, and you have $2400 "play money" for shocks (the stock suspension worked just fine for me.. but I am short, so it didn't matter that I am a bit more "condensed" :bluduh)

    Warning, Totally useless info follows;

    The Good, In 2006 they came with flux capacitors from the factory. :norton

    The bad, The Virginia bike does not know the roads around here as well. :deal

    Finally if you ever, break a clutch cable while riding around these parts, Hunter has a proven method of fixing them. I'll take a little credit for the assist. :freaky

    Good luck.

    The first thing I do when I get a new motorcycle is get spare cables and put them on the bike for those emergency moments. (experience)

    If I get the Virginia bike, it will get a map.

    True, that time. What makes you different is anyone can fix a motorcycle. You can fix one with a rock.

    I know what you mean. I keep looking around at all this beauty, knowing that too soon it will be stripped away by cold wind and rain, and in spite of that knowing I can't seem to crawl out of my hole and get out to enjoy it.

    10 day forecast shows another week of great weather. We should not waste it.

    If it weren't for the fact that I *really* need to replace my chain & sprocket, I'd be up for riding today. But, there will surely be lots of ADV FF's at Wedge Brewing tonight. Today is Wedgesday, after all ! :beer:
