    Love that black on black. One of the cases where it looks way better in person than in a photo. Congrats.

    Congrats, kinda thought you would do that someday. Just remember to rotate what you ride and you will never lose your touch, and don't put your foot down when you stop on three wheels because people laugh.
    Happy Owner

    Hey Mark, I liked you more when you were Flamingbabes lover. It had a ring to it. I know what it is like to give up the Harley.

    ( I know it,s Flamingobabe not Flamingbabes, but it has a certain ring to it don't you think?)

    You will eventually learn to love the Spyder too.
