First I want to thank Laminar and Snoopy for all their help. I would not have been able to do this without their assistance. Here she is:  |

Wowee Zowie! That's one  bike buddy! When are we getting together? I need to um...test it out?  Congrats on getting back on the horse so quickly, I know from experience it feels good. Take care of her, ride safe, and remember you look even faster to the popo now! |

Now THAT's a sincere expression. If I looked like that when I take pictures, I'd smile.
Ride safe my friend. Can't wait to ride with you again.

Great looking bike, Soup. Be careful with her, shes ALOT faster than what you were used to riding.  Congratulations on the newest family member. |

Another hilarious anecdote: Soup wanted to do an oil change at my place before taking off. I picked up 4 quarts of Mobil 1 synthetic motorcycle oil and a K&N filter from Advance Auto yesterday on my lunch break ($60 total  ). I tossed the grocery-style bag under the cargo net on the back of the Nighthawk and went back to work. Soup called shortly after four so I went out to pull the bag off the Nighthawk and found...three quarts of oil. Oops. We didn't have time to go back and pick up another quart so he just eschewed the oil change for now. So last night after basketball I retraced my route from Advance Auto to work and lo and behold, about three blocks from Advance there was a quart of Mobil one on the edge of the road in near-perfect condition. Phew. |

That is VERY nice. Careful though it looks like it could give you lots of opportunities to meet your local law enforcement professionals.  |
