thanks, i had to do what i had to do. i couldn't afford a bike outright, i had to finance one and this one made the most sense ("good" starter bike) and looked the coolest. this one rides real well and has a nice laid baid riding posture and gets looks and compliments all the fucking time.

tuneup maybe. it came with those v&h longshots on em and i don't know if they ever tuned properly for them. they sound fucking awesome and it runs super smooth so i really don't know. the neighbors aren't real happy about the bike i don't think.

i threw another ~120 on the clock today and after about 80 of em i was good and tired. average speed on the highway was 5-10 over meaning 65-75 and the high rpm just kind of sucks. my body wasn't tingling from the vibrations like it has been so i figure i'll just get used to it over time, i dont know. i still want a 6th gear though.

yea i love my helmet.

the bike came with a quick release window but i took it off the second i got in the driveway. if i were to really do some miles i reckon i would throw it back on. it's not the wind that bothers me at highway speed, it's the high rpm and no 6th gear.
