Yup. Hand built by my mechanic. Clever guy, great craftsmanship... but he's always talking about some nonsense about curving bullets.

But when I'm out kicking *** and hittin' up the drive-thru, it's no bueno.
Luckily, I've got hook ups at the local stop-n-gulp. I caught the guy working the counter trying to scare me with some lysol spray hidden up his sleeve. Needless to say, I gave him a japanese-style whoopin' and now we're bffs.

my buddy has an icon leather jacket, very thick material, seems quality. he's never tested it though, which is a good thing.

Nice! Thanks buddy!
Tried the 1098 and 1198S. The riding position is too sadistic for me. Love the sheer power though; I keep popping wheelies without shifting.
I ride almost 10k miles a year. I need something that won't kill my back.

I understand, I am getting to that stage now myself. I have always ridden sport bikes. Started with a GSXR 750, went to an R1, then the Duc 748 and now this beast. It definetly pops, but you seems to have the best of both worlds.

Same here, I need AWD/4WD and M/S tires for those conditions.
