571 in a day? And here I thought going 33 miles to work was far lol. We need to go ride some time brother, now that I have cruise control and my hands don’t hurt 5 min in.571 miles yesterday . 3,894 last month ( October ) 14,xxx for year so far . Bike out of service 12 days this year for parts .
My fav model. Gen ii without the ABS!!Maybe in 10 years when they're in my price range.
Yup, same. It's a 2008.
You definitely want good strong ankles to hold that big 'ol green buffalo up....I tried to ride yesterday but my ankle is not healed enough for that yet. I think I’m a few weeks out still. No pictures other than the bike sitting still with the new air cleaner on it.
I did change out the baffles in the pipes. There was a 10 decibel difference in sound at just an idle. I like the aggressive sound but it’s a bit too loud. I’ll try putting some packing inside the mufflers and see if that helps it some.

I could only imagine how many cops would be chasing me if I had a rifle strapped to my bike like that....I rode yesterday to a private instruction gun range. Almost passed the US air marshal drill with a micro compact on irons .
My good frienr Aaron a former 10 year Royal Marine passed it and was super elated. My middle son has come home from the Marines , and made the day with us . Another USMC Sean brought some interesting rifle drills to the table .
The two US Marines rang steel @ 100 yards with pistols ( 1911 45 acp ) and a 2011 Staccato in 9mm .
We marched out to 400 yards and rang steel with the bigger bolt guns . Intentions to goo 800 and then 1000 but day light was not with us for it .
Rode today to get wife's meds for after surgery. @ 15,xxx for the year now .

Handguns
People in Texas must carry a handgun in a holster. The holster does not have to be a shoulder or belt holster. Before HB 1927 took effect on September 1st, 2021, people in Texas needed to have a license to carry a handgun and they needed to keep their handgun in a shoulder or belt holster.
Section 46.02 of the Texas Penal Code requires a handgun to be carried in a holster, but it does not provide a definition of the word "holster."

This section sets the age limit for carrying a handgun, lists which convictions disqualify someone from carrying a handgun, and lists other limitations. It sets out the requirement that handguns must be carried in a holster.

This section discusses several situations and places in which the carry of a handgun by a license-holder may be prohibited. It also mentions the requirement to carry a handgun in a holster.

Got out this morning for a nippeley 23degrees ride. Wasn’t too terrible except for the wind coming in under my helmet. I have some good winter gloves and the built in hand warmers are nice. Might even go back out in a bit
You need a Nolan QuietRider to fit into the bottom of your helmet(several styles and they fit any helmet).
