Long time coming....
Looks like I can finally change my user title!!!! I'm VERY excited to announce that this little gem became mine this morning!

2004 VLX with 7000 miles on it...and it's spotless! Now let's see if I can keep it that way while I get some riding time under my belt! Once I'm comfortable with my skills I'm hoping to move on to a different style. Doesn't really matter though! It's been three years and I'm just happy to finally ride on my own!!!

Re: Long time coming....
Nice and it should lean pretty good despite the post of Tornado Bait. I am not wild about the forward controls (they are in style though) but the rest looks perfect and will be an excellant bike for a while.

Just don't get a half helmet, you don't have only half a brain to protect

Of course you could throw your 'boy' on the back and come down in June for my brothers rally

Woo hoo! Congrats gal! Nice lookin bike!!!

Get yourself out and riding so you're ready to go to Grattan.






When NH is busy taking pictures @ Grattan, you can "borrow" the 929 and take it for a spin around the track. Won't he be surprised.
