Best to get that first one out of the way. If you are gonna ride motorbikes, its not a question of if but when. Sooner or later you gonna crack up. Just pray that it won't be too bad. Those 865s are tight when they are new. I nearly dropped a 05 speedmaster making a turn too slow in third gear. I lugged the engine and it stalled locking the back wheel. I slid around but kept the bike up. After it got broke in I could lugg around in third. But the stupidest thing I did on that same bike was to try and take off with the front end locked. I did drop it that day. I kept having close calls on that bike till I totaled it with just under 7000 miles on it. The America I got to replace it now has over 16000 miles on it. I've drug the pipes and pegs in turns but so far kept the rubber down. I think there was just something about that first bike. Be careful


Its more fun to be ridin'! I'm still ridin
