By the way, please let the folks in Pa. know that we do run about 10 mph over the limit on I-95 in NC and when they run 10 mph below the posted limit it creates a problem. Thanks.

Whew! Thanks for the warning...I usually run 20 MPH over...I guess I'll have to slow down for the local yocals. ;-)

tire

Josey, if your lookin to go darkside, get a Falken 245/50 16 car tire. ride is better an smoother, an you **** near can lay it sideways in curves on wet roads an there is no sliding or worry, even with 2 people on! cost is about 100.00, way less than a bike tire an looks great, check my sight, their is a pic on there! good luck! THANKS DEANNA

You are an abnormal Pennsylvanian, the rest cause issues

Raptor is in, I got to visit it today with the sticker still on it. Wheel comes off tomorrow afternoon and Riken goes on, then on bike Saturday morning. Man, that thang looks really wide in person. I am having difficulty picturing it on my Rocket. I am now wondering about low speed tight turns. Does the same method of clutch use work the same way and is it more difficult in tight slow rollers?

I go out and run through the figure-8 box on the local MSF course just to keep in practice. No problems whatsoever.

Right after I launch up a long ramp and hit some long sweepers in the local Interstate to loosen it up a little, then to a large abandoned parking lot to do some learning.

Riding with a group Sunday. Don't wish to show my ass or be one either. And those of yee that knows me knows that solo is my bag. Dealer wants me to attend to support them.

Finally broke down, I am cheap by the way (my heritage), and ordered my UTOPIA backrest this evening. Kaoko from the Black Phantom (Thanks) Rivco floorboards from SnuffCity, K & N's from Fat Frank, Progressive 440 HD from Keith H, and now a Riken Raptor.

YouTube - Johnny Cash & June Carter Cash - One Piece At A Time I know, put it up before but it suits me. I left Kentucky too............................still ain't quite figured out why. Spent the formative years trying to get off the farm and the rest of my life trying to get back to it.
