Bird to Go
Here's some pics of the XX with Givis installed. I'm headed for the Blue Ridge Parkway so if any of you guys up in NC and VA (probably WV too) see a Bird with Fireblades on the swingarm say hello.

That sudden curve pic is awesome. If you had a close up of it, it would make a great Avatar! Fun trip!

Awesome.

That is one pretty bike (has Conq seen this thread yet, he's bound to wax nostalgic).

My 'busa w/Ventura might not even be the uber-tourer that double-X is, very nice!

Re: Bird to Go
Yeah, nice sign. Need a few out here on Palomar and the crest.

Looks as though it was a nice time up there. Buddy lives up there and takes his SV out from time to time. Did a, ehem errr aaaaaa, rent a hardley trip there myself. Nice...


How did the bike handle with all the bags on it?

The bike handles great, now that I've raised the ride height a bit. The new Continental Road Attack's handled wonderfully... very neutral, no tendencies to fall into a corner like my 010's (made even more evident by cupping over time). The only problems that I encountered came when I hit the expressway here and there (I tried to stay away as much as possible). Buffeting from the 'dirty' air coming off tractor trailers made life interesting.

That looks like some beautiful scenery! Bet you'll do that again, eh? And I have never before seen a road sign dedicated to motorcyclists!

we have them up here, although not like that. so according to that sign if you aren't careful you'll highside on that turn. the signs we have up here are usually construction signs that just say "motorcycles use caution" usually because the pavement has been ripped up and there's grooved pavement ahead. I think I've seen "motorcycles use caution" just before some grate bridges. I think the one into main has that sign but its been too long since I've been there.

The scenery up there is beautiful... I'm missing it already.

I will make the trip again, I've done this every year since I've owned the XX (four years now). Next year may be different though, my brother wants to make a cross country run from Georgia to Wasington (state). All I have to do is convince the owner of our company to let me have off more than one week at a time (odds are not in my favor).
