Hey Guys...and ladies.

Seeing I got a welcome message I thought I'd see hi. I picked up my black Speedy a few weeks ago and I've put about 1,200 km on it since then...its great fun and as always even more fun in a group. The bike's been lowered and Kuryaken indicators swapped in for the factory ones by the previous owner. It gets lots of interest from enthusiasts and citizens alike...much to to the dismay of my two mates who both own H-Ds.

I've learned a alot about moddifying my ride from reading up on everyones experiences, so thanks and let the modding begin lol

Thanks for the welcome gus, pix on their way...going up into the hills tomorrow...oops,its an 03, with 6,600km on the clock. As soon as I can I'm going some thunderpipes (the stock pipes do get a littel bit louder over time but they wont be as good as an after market set), the Freak, re-jet , lose the air injection nonsense and a couple of chrome items that would finish the bike off...like the clutch lifter arm and cable...man they forgot that...or am i sensing a H-D deal where we get to "personalise" our bike..ie finish them off . On the bottom of my list is the 904 conversion and belt drive conversion. Dont know if I need to go down the 904 route but the belt drive is looking like a must have after cleaning the bike on Wednesday I guess i'll go the pipes etc and see how she feels.


...yes, that is a single seat...no, I will not put the other seat on...yes, I am selfish...yes, you should buy your own bike
