That is quite a bit different from your last bike Gary. I like it though. Have fun with it.

the Incredible Hulk of bikes, best of luck with the new ride.

I'd love to know it's towing capacity.
It's most likely higher than my car.

I'm afraid it won't have enough power. Maybe I'll pick up one of these:

Perhaps after you get it, we can begin the countdown until you lose your license!

Cool! Do they make a "Triplet Max" to synch the TBs?

Canceled the order for the Rocket. My penis isn't that small after all, so no need to compensate.

My next ride will most likely be a barely used BMW. K, R, whatever. Gonna wait another year.
