Nice pic!

What Koval said, I almost couldn't see the lake, that can was blocking my view.    ;)

Put a door on the launcher, carry some chives, bacon bits, and sour cream.  Instant roadside food ;D

Many years ago, the first night of my Honeymoon was spent at Lake Okeechobee.  That was the first and last time I was in Florida.   Might have to take a ride there soon.

Thanks everyone... and yes, the stock can will go "soon".  I think I want a new seat first...got a couple of big rides coming up and I love just about everything about the bike.

Love the pic, and Love the Lake. I have been there a few times, and like the Great Lakes, it looks like an frickin Ocean it's so big. Looks like the Sun was your friend that day also.
Ride safe all,
Greg

Like this?  :)

My cruiser is awesome!  Nothing wrong with cruisers... just different...although I will admit that I choose the Connie 9 times out of 10 lately...

Nope, they don't suck, just different.  Kinda like having a sporty vehicle and a luxury vehicle. I rode to TN and back on the Royal Star in comfort every mile...  I'll be doing it on the Connie in May... my guess is that I'll come back and say the RSV was more comfy on the highway, with the Connie being more fun  in the mountains...

BTW, the Royal Star did WELL on the Dragon.  It's no Harley...it's much more of a performance cruiser. More HP and better handling. Didn't go around scraping metal on the turns, and was plenty fun. Wife enjoyed it with me, too, which brings on "other" benefits, too.

Only problem I have with the cruiser is that I keep buying chrome stuff for it! (Gotta admit it's a pretty bike!)
