Since it has been slow in the lounge...
...I had some free time and so I spent some money on the bike....I got me a solo seat for it. Looks a bunch better than the stock seat with the built in P-pad.

I can't wait for some warmer weather to ride it more and save on gas.

Thanks guys....I love to ride this cruiser. It is such an easy ride & very comfy as well.

I always liked the Street bikes but they are usually to high in the seat for me and my short legs. I barely touched on my brother's VFR when I rode it in Cali.
Also had a older '84 Honda NightHawk S that I could tippy toe touch on. Those Race bikes just aren't made for me....probably a good thing....So I just cruise nice and easy on this bike.

Chris,

I have a buddy that's always had the same problem. He loves the sportbikes so much that he lowers every one he gets. Kind of funny.

My next bike will be a cruiser. Don't know when that will be though. Gotta sell the CBR now though.

That's funny lowering the bikes...I would have to lower most of them like 5" or better. Lol

I would Love to get me just a little bit bigger bike ( engine size ) in the future....this is a Honda Spirit 750cc and it's decent for me since I'm smaller framed....But on the Highways, which I don't like to ride on, they seem to wind out a bit with the smaller engine. I would love to get me a Harley...but I'm not really that into bikes...and I'm not really a Harley snob either. I could care less what kinda bike people have as long as they like it. But if I had my choice I would get a Harley. Or maybe get an 1100cc - 1300cc bike.
But it's not a priority so I can hang with this one.

pm when you do. Getting one has been on my mind. I had a 750 gxr for about 6 months back in 98. I was way too immature to keep myself alive so i sold it.

Dude, that is a sweet bike....I wish I can ride those.

I don't think you can send pics in the PM unless your a Mod or Admin.

Thanks Chris. I need to get some sweet pics of it before I sell it. I want something good enough to frame (since it's been my baby ). I just don't have the camera or the talent to take cool shots like you, Mackie and Hal.
