Thumbs up excellent

That's a topshelf story man especially since it's silver and all like a few of
the "exlusive members" have here on this forum.

Great reading ....I think I saw that Seattle Bike listed and it was nice.

Post some PICS if you can please

Great story Keyfactor .

Watch out for the 'slow oldies' on here though , they just like the silver colour 'cos it matches their hair ( if they've got any left that is).

Got any pics?

Yep ... nice line up Buster, but no where near enough said ... ... mate , the question is "why you ride a Cane" ...not what you have ridden over the years ...
Yep, like you could say "I ride a hurricane because none of the other bikes I had could hold a candle to the awesome power, speed, style, and comfort of the CBR1000F"

But I can't say it for you, because I haven't owned all those other bikes.
I rode a GL650 for a while, though... Not a bad bike. Not my 'Cane, though, by a longshot....

Default 600 more reasons

Just got back from a ride that started at seven this morning and covered 600 miles of some of the best roads in Washington State. Started from Othello and covered a lot of North cascades (Loup Loup Pass Omak , OKanagan) ended up in Cle Elum at a family dinner, on-time and with a huge grin on my face!!. Kept up with an '05 FJR1300 who knew the road really well, and that was with a nearly worn out front tire. No back pain, no tingling fingers, 45 mpg averaging 75-85 mph. wil post some pix when I get done working tomorrow. Time to shower, hit the sack and dream of twisties!

OK , I'm tired of this silly competition between 'faster colours!'

Racing colours were introduced during the early years of 'Motor Sport' so fans from different countries could easily identify the vehicles and drivers racing for their country.
That is why we have such colours as 'British Racing Green', each country chose a colour and is associated with that colour to this day!

Anyone who follows 'Motor Sport', will realise that the most successful colour in racing history is RED! ( Ferrari , Ducatti ect..) and of course the coolest colour is BLACK! (don't even try to argue).

My bike being both BLACK AND RED is of course both at once the COOLEST AND THE FASTEST , silver has at best been an 'also ran', colour.

So we come to the logical conclusion , red bikes are the fastest , black bikes are the coolest and black and red is the fastest coolest colour

Oh , Sprock , if you wanna know what cool means , just ask Sir Trout

BTW Keyfactor5 , nice ride , there's a bit of black on your bike so it's cool and if you wanna' go faster , just buy some red leathers , i can lend you some if you like

Coz you don't have a silver one - that's why.
Ice cream vans are red and black here
