AWESOME and thanks for coming over here....you are VERY WELCOME here at the new forum.

Club Polk is great and its good to see some of the "faces" from there over here.

Looks like you have a nice stable of cars and toys there.

Do you ever do any long distance rides on the Blackbird? I heard they are pretty comfy.

Longest ride on the XX has been around 400 miles. It's not as comfortable as your touring bikes are but much more comfortable than the sport bikes are. That's why the term sport touring. Exactly the reason I got one, perfect bike for me, sporty but not too tiring for your body. I'd still get a full touring bike if the rides get much longer than 500 miles a day.

The XX is legendary. On the FJR Forum there is a lot of conversation about a couple members success with that machine on Iron Butt rallies.

There are some still out their brand new in crates waiting to be sold!

Really? Those are nice bikes! I think the only fly in the ointment is the linked brakes.


Sami, not to sound like a weenie, but isn't the motor in your Kart a CR125 motor? The RM is a Suzuki bit.

Exactly where are these crated bikes? And, what's wrong with linked brakes asked the Guzzi owner?
