Look what I bought this week

[chris_lacey]

It will be ready for pick up when I get home from Iceland.

'94 Sortster 1200. Big tank, wide glide. I had a '58 panhad for almost 30 years but I sold it about 2 years ago. I would have liked brand new, but I had the money for this one.

Looks good. Did you buy that in Iceland?:p

[chris_lacey]

Ralph, holy cow, that was quick!!!
No, it's from a dealer in Ontario. I saw it in autotrader online. It's got warranty for the rest of the year and the price was very right. I gotta do something with the drag pipes. My neighbours will love me.

Couple more

popping pop corn amplified by a 1000watt speaker system comes to mind when seeing those straight pipes, your neighbors should be glad you're considerate. congratulations!
what are you thinking of for replacements?

Love the pipes. The neighbors will get used to it.

They sound a lot better quiet. Put big, huge mufflers on it. :D

Probably Cycle Shack or S&S slip ons. Just cut the drag pipes and install the mufflers for now anyway.

By the way it was pleasure meeting you last Monday.

Bogi. thanks again for the hospitality!!!

Yes, I did pick it up yesterday. I rode home the scenic route ans it took about 4 hours, so I've got some seat time. Unfortunately the weather was more Icelandic than Canadian for the ride home. +10 and light rain.

I'm taking it to the trailer for holidays on Friday and summer is supposed to return (+30), so it should be fun.

See you next trip.
