            That's funny because my old dirty rat T is faster for sure.

            This bike doesn't scare me climbing the RPMs in 3rd or 4th and can't seem to accelerate very well in fifth past 5500-6000 rpms.

            I haven't properly dipped the carbs or replaced O rings yet so it might be as fast as my old one, just not yet.

              I think this is the first I've seen of this one. Looks nice! That front wheel isn't a Suzuki one is it?

                Still waiting for a nice day and good rainfall to wash the roads of grime and salt here in the Chicago area. First year in a loooooong time I have not had a bike out on the road 1st half of March. I am a bit of a clean freak though.

                      Nope, it isn't.

                      The forks, bars, grips, levers, fender, brakes etc. are all of a goldwing.

                      So far I'm not a big fan of the GW parts.


                      Here's a link or two to threads about how I ended up with 2 more T's and what I've done to them so far.

                        Lol, kind of fitting, but she's not the first T of mine to see a frozen lake!



                        This was taken on my first ride in '13, May 5th.

                        Rode my bike to go Ice fishing.

                          That's great Tank. How many people can say they rode their motorcycle to ice fishing? Awesome!

                              I did not ride to GO ice fishing, but went for a ride and saw lots of other folks ice fishing. (ice fishing, seems like a miserable thing to do.)
