Cool!  And that's a cool "GP" style exhaust on your Rocket there too, Damien! Do ya know the brand?
Yep! Just like a good Single Malt Scotch, you might call me "an acquired taste" TOO.(among the many OTHER things you may care to call me, of course)

Nice! Love the color combo.

Always remember to be yourself. Unless you suck. Then pretend to be someone else.

This obsession you have with copying me is really just sad...

It had some. They blew off during acceleration.

It's handles great even at 125 bobs in and out of traffic very well I have drug the floor boards a couple times in corners and tight turning isnt that tight but I'm getting my rocket skills dailed In. my America has a lot more lean angle and I think if the road was twisted enough I think I could out run it and definalty on the scrambler
I'm glad it's got huge brakes cuz with the acceleration it has you spend a lot of time slowing down
I got it last wednesday and I've put over 900 miles in it and haven't gone anywhere

I've mostly been dragging the footboards on roundabouts and around corners in my neighborhood.
