Definitely a Forum Rule Violation here...

You forgot the pics! Especially when we're talking rare birdies

Your bike is beautiful. I ride a 93 Hurricane that I am in love with, but the Blackbird is next. First one I have seen in red, she is stunning. Congratulations !

Thanks guys!

The bike looks and runs just great. Have done about 500 km now and I'm very pleased.

I used to have Hurricanes, three of them: 87, 91 and 95. They are excellent machines and I miss some of their characteristics, ie the more upright riding position and better wind protection.

But, with a practically new Blackbird, I'm ok :-)
