Shaaaazaam!  Beautiful.
Livin loud looks to be my size.  First call to Murph for risers and lowering pegs.

Doesn't he need one of those license plate thingies also?   They're pretty sticky about those things up here.

Congrats to your friend Jay!! ;D
Seeing those bikes side by side like that makes me realize 2 things. 1) I like the 09 alot better. The lines on the 09 just look better to me.  2) That scud missle is HUGE!

Let the fun begin.

WARNING to LivnLoud....... hanging out with ZG is hazardous to your financial well being?  Farkling is fun and natural, but that buddy of yours has taken it to new levels and everytime you ride with him you are going to see something that you want to do. Its contagious, and the guy your catching it from has it BAD .....

 :chugbeer:

His wife said that about me years ago......  :P Ask me to tell you the "STORY" sometime (to much to type here).



As of this morning I have already purchased a throttle lock, rear fender eliminator, and Phil's luggage rack. I had to get the luggage rack for the large GIVI Monokey that came with the bike.

Still to come will be the handle bar risers, helmet locks,  exhaust (ya, the launcher has to go). And the list will go on.


I love the new bike. Pray for sun. Anybody want a 2009 Buell XB12XT?

 ;D
 
Ya, in fact I can think of a couple stories from our youth bro...  :-X  There were times in my life when I was younger that my dad nor my girlfreind (now wife) didn't think it was such a good idea that we should hang together...  ;)
 
But now we're older and wiser right??
 :grouphug: :rotflmao:
 
 
 
Congrats on ordering up Phils rack, that's a great decision there!  :thumbs:

Damn, here I was hoping to be the one with a 2012 when you bought my 2009 for $17,500 ;D

    Its seems that bike riders when exposed to the Connie cannot resist the temptation to replace their current ride (or add to the stable). This ,I believe, proves that motorcyclists exist at the higher levels of IQ's  ;).

  Beautiful rides!!

You should also get the Murphs wedges that I told you about, they work nicely with the Heli risers, and Murph is an A+ guy!  :thumbs:

Tom, I see ya have met KIPASS Steve, he is a Harley rider at heart and is amazed at modern technology.  Ya should hear him talk about the shaft this beast has.  He got on it once, but speeds above 80 makes him start shaking in his flip flops ;D
