First of all I'd like to say HI to all members.
I've been looking at this forum for few months now.... so I guess it's time to finally say HELLO
This is my ride for 2011... got it at the end of the season and I put only about 100km on it before winterizing.

Beautiful!
I hear ya, I even thought about putting clipons on my monster before but decided to just get an SS instead of SSing my old bike. Still though, I could see myself riding a Speed Triple with clipons and some new rearsets, that would be a fun bike. Sadly it gets the SS surcharge from pretty much everyone.thats was exactly it... seeing you pass me on the gardiner. meh i dunno, i always liked ss bikes, bought the street triple for a change, and it was a great bike. there are no complaints about it, but even though its less comfortable, i like the seating position of an ss bike. although for inner-city riding, i'm sure ill miss the street triple, it was a dream to handle at low speeds and tight corners.
Might roll with my last year ride 08 Ninja 250r. If I can get insurance for an SS that's equal to what I pay now then I'll upgrade. This year I only have 1 ticket on my record and I'll be taking my M license and will have offically been insured for a motorcycle for a year so I'm hoping to get good rates for an SS.
I'm keeping my old ride for sure, but 'new ride'? ... Hmmm, I'm still looking but something likeWhat's your new ride for 2011
