I'm beginning to sense a certain level of Speedaphobia around here, perhaps it is my imagination, yes I'm quite sure it is...

um...its a 2005 America with 2007 Wheels, passenger peg brackets, and Bella Corse speedmaster bars. It also has the mid pegs, tach, oil temp gauge, & aftrer market rear suspension.
It's a killer bike!
I traded with nice fellow for my BMW K100RS.
Neither one of us wanted to trade but neither one of us was comfortable on our bikes, so...
Oh, and it's Wineberry(?) and Graphite...not Black ;-)

Welcome to the site and the bike! And mulberry and graphite? "A rose by any other name." Close enough to red and black to be one of the most desirable ones!

Welcome to the forum, excellent choice of bike. The two tone bikes are 10 mph faster, handle better and of course they are chick magnets.

Lon, it's so much better, i made the 65 mi ride to work w/o issue and the stretch to the foot pegs and handle bars feels good on the back.
Mulberry.... yup that's what i meant! ;-)

Did anyone else think "Rube" when they saw his handle? Especially since he got one of those BAs instead of a Speedmaster, and a non-black one at that  Oh yeah, hi Rube...er Ryan

the Speedophobia is an unfortunate side effect of inhaling Metzeler tire smoke while being passed by superior bikes. also affects their reasoning ability (basic rough layout + 1 year of honing, polishing & getting the bugs out = perfect bike.. the SM). but hey, the spokes are pretty.

Yup. First thing I thought of, but maybe I'm just showing my age.

Yeah, thats what I call my boy. He's 5 and his middle name is "ruben", so he gets "rube" and "ruby"... Most folks just call me "the doctor", "Goldberg", or "G-berg" for those versed in ebonix... all other alias' would get this post deleted! Quote:
