Someone will take the time to post even if there isn't an answer. But those are the most fun.

If you're ever around the Norfolk/ VA beach area Brian at D&D import cycles is a great guy and runs a great shop. Also he sets up RAT rides all the time.

Hello Tim, this is a good site with some spot on technical advice. Everyone seems friendly although sometimes there are squabbles....and there is a cadre of people that must literally type their fingers to the bone each day, but what the hey they are having a good time. The BA is a nice bike...enjoy it and welcome.

Welcome Tim. If you are ever in the Norfolk/Virginia Beach area let me know. I agree that if you need anything from a dealer, Brian @ D&D is great!
I go to parties, sometimes untill 4. It's hard to leave when you can't find the door.

He says he is the level headed one but as you see by his own admission he is going to walk a front end loader around the block.Listen to me I'm the level headed one and welcome to the site, I have to stop typing now because my teeth itch and my hair hurts.

Hi Tim, and welcome to the site. I just read through the entire thread and was amazed that no one mentioned which color bike is the fastest. Usually when a new member comes on board everyone has to point out that thier color is the fastest. Sooooo, to put everything to rest for you, right from the start, you need to know that the Pacific Blue/New England White ones are by far the quickest ones on the road. And if anyone tries to tell you different-----they're lying! Get out there and ride, Paw.

I never looked at the date, just saw it at the top of my unread list. I just now looked at the date and you are right, almost 6 months. Oh well as you say better late than never.
