So does this mean that we will not need flight line grade earplugs to ride behind you this year, Pete?

Ya, and what's up with those pink, or is it "faded red" gas cans sitting on the ground?
It looks fast parked, I like it, ride safe Pete

I think those gas cans were red a long time ago.
they are in the pile of stuff for the dump , if I ever get around to going.
got the tank cover and bag off ebay for less than $50.
before I even thought about getting an 08.

Pete, Very nice looking bike, and yes, welcome to the 1050 club.
On my Tiger I just adjusted the chain after 8500 miles. In a couple of months you might want to check the torque of all the engine cases. I just did mine and well over half of the bolts were well below the 9nm torque spec.
