Welcome back Hangster, very nice looking bike. After you get some miles under your butt on the 750 let us know what you think between the 650 and 750.

I've missed you hangster.  It's great to hear from you again, and the new hawk is icing on the cake.  I see you've got the mud grips on her - Loki loves his.

Nice!  It may not glow in the dark, but it looks really clean... and set up for some trips!  Glad to officially have you back.  Congrats on the "just a piece of plastic" too!

Nice looking bike, enjoy! I know how good it feels to finally be riding again after a bikeless period.

I also like that tank bag btw, is that a windowed pocket for a gps device I see there? Clever, I've been looking for a good spot to put mine, but this looks perfect (especially since I use my phone for navigation, which isn't exactly waterproof...).

Thanks guys and gals , it's been good riding the new 750 (handles like a dream)

Yes you can put your GPS in there if you have one but i mainly use it for the I-Pass and garage door opener , it's so nice to just push the button instead of looking through pockets for the opener

When's the glowing white paint going on that beast?

Congrats on being legal, those prison visits were killing ya.....
LOL Meister , no glow in the dark this time but i did add a little something to it that makes it more visible at night

Hi Hppants , yep i love those tires they come in real handy since every stinkin road around here is under construction

Very cool. Where'd you get the fork brace?

I did some diggin on the forums and found a thread about it so i contacted them and bought one (here  http://www.superbrace.com/products.asp?cat=34 )

Thanks for the welcome back guys and gals , i already have a ride report in the works but i'll post on that tomorrow as i still have pics to take and chicks to feed.

 welcome yet again
Congrats on the license and new steed.  The 750 in black always looks great.  What's with the red on the horn?  Is that aftermarket?

So the Hammerhead is bigger than the JR Manta tankbag  scratcher

More importantly, didja learn anything new at MSF?

Awaiting ride report.

Acually to horn is a new one i bought which has a lower tone but still not better than what could be installed , the tank bag is about the same size as the mants but it has clear window pockets making it easy not to run tolls  laugh

Happy C , the MSF was an eye opener for me and would recomend it to anyone who want's to ride , i've always hated and had trouble making U-turns but after this class i'm making them with my eyes closed (BTW i never would have passed the road test if it wasn't for this class GOOD STUFF and well worth the money spent thumb
