Nice bike

Were you by chance heading West on E Ontario around Michigan Ave on Aug 2 about 8:00PM?

Wife and I were in the city about that time and ~15 minutes of sport bikes came blazing through holding up traffic and having a good time!

Everyone was cool with it and there were tourists taking pictures of all the bikes coming down the street.

Nice bike, I'm a cruiser guy myself, like LB. I've got a FLHTC "Geezer Glide". I don't know what my wife means by the term "Your toys"? Any ideas?

Sweet ride, dj. I love the fairings on the Rs, very predatory looking. Of course, I am partial to my ZX10R.

I had a Buell Ulysses before this Kawi and after the last one, but it was too quirky for me. Buell has neat engineering, I like the 1125 especially since they got rid of that lump of a Harley motor. I say go for it, Nick.

BTW, just got back from a week long class in Chicago at the CNA bldg. Beautiful city and the people were the friendliest city dwellers I've ever come across. Having been living out in the country for so long, though, I think I would find driving or riding in the city pretty nerve wracking. Just a matter of what you're used to, I guess.

You need to trailer that badboy down to the Dragon behind your Box. It'll handle much better than your Road Hog did, I'm sure.

Yeah, but if I took the bike down, I'll probably go home in a body bag !

Nick,
That's a nice bike - bring it by so I can drive it . Don't sell it!
