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

Let us know, we'll try to get some sort of welcoming committee together.

Ride safe all,
Greg

Post by: RideBellChain on April 06, 2012, 10:59:23 AM: 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...

Post by: Pokey on April 06, 2012, 04:31:32 PM: Yeah cruisers still suck.......seems you are even starting to realize that. ;)
Title: Re: Pic at Lake Okeechobee
Post by: RideBellChain on April 07, 2012, 06:46:54 AM: 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!)
