It was fun on track days to surprise the big liter bikes with it. Handles well once you tamed the forks but it was a blast to stand it up coming out of corners. The wife saw me doing that one day in the neighborhood and she was none too pleased.
If I could I'd have countless bikes and cars. I've always been more of a cruiser guy. I'm scared of getting my hands on a speed bike now. Imagine when I was younger. I ride my Street Glide way to hard sometimes.

Yep that's me. Hurt my feelings to see that one leave but I just couldn't stay on it more than 30 minutes at a time which is about the endurance of the gas tank at 24 MPG. It had BIG Mikuni carbs, a mild cam, velocity stacks in the airbox, more stuff than I can remember.
