and only two wheels!

So I know now how I will die..... fast and with a large smile on my face. due to some unforseen problems with the buell, Destination Harley Davidson truly stepped up to the plate and traded me for this.... I would send any one of you there for a new or used bike. They really did make a bad situation right without being poked or prodded. good people.

In any event....I've been talking with a few of you and you asked what I was up to, well, here it is, this is my new beauty....

 

beauty...but i would have bought the ninja 636......thats still nice. lets ride sometime.

 

Oh dear.........hope the xA was not your only car........it is really cold out right now.......and do not think that has a defrost.....

 

hmm... nice...... you have been talkin about getting a bike for years......

lets just hope the only guts that get splatterd on it are from bugs

enjoy

 

been riding for a little while and most certainly took an MSF class so I feel prepared.

I still have the xA even though it is for sale..... also still have the Jetta and the starlet and the truck etc etc lol I have too many vehicles!


Anywhoo, took it for the first spin last night and holy crap its fast but damn is it fun!

 

Looks like fun D, I'll keep four wheels and a body around me thank you very much, lol. Don't forget your leathers when riding and replace the pucks in the knees and elbows regularly, lol.

 

I have been lookin for a Beull lightning for a little while myself. Nice bike. I have 4 Kawi's 3 dirt one road. Have fun and don't mess around in traffic. thats when things go wrong. oh and even thought the old man is looking you right in the eye, trust me he doesn't see you and is gonna pull out in front of you. I love riding it is great but some people love to ruin your day.

 

i can only picture what dustin looks on that bike lol

like a big bear on those little circus bikes LOL
sorry dude at first i thought it was a mini bike LOL
sweet ride though

 

The image of that in my mind's eye, Brad, makes me think Dustin is, uh, molesting the poor thing...

Have fun, Dustin, but please try to ride safely! :D

Tom

 

Way to go Dustin! I know you kept saying you wanted one of these, congrats!

 

Great pics. Great Bike.

 

nice! i would love to get a bike but the boss wont even let me have a scooter

 

My boss finally gave me the OK to take the MSF.. taking it at Evergreen Safety Foundation in Seattle (Class) and Renton for the ride stuff.

Deposit on the 250 will be done on Sunday. Dustin, wanna ride it home for me =D

 

Becareful about getting a 250. I made a mistake and got a 500 to start with and it was WAY too little bike for me. If anything after riding for a few months now, i would reccomend everything my friends told me which would be to pick a bike and go one step above that. There are some very controlable and sane 600's and 650's out there that are very affordable and that you wont get bored of really quick.

all in all though, its about the ride and I'll see you out there!

 

Heh, oh yeah I thought about that. I figured I would pass down the bike and upgrade to a 650 sometime down the road. After factoring the power-to-weight ratio, I'd probably easy hit 60 in 4 seconds - plenty, plenty, fast for me =)

And nooo that wasn't a jab at you. We'll have to go riding in the mountains sometime!

 

unlike some folks who felt the need, I didnt think it was a jab ;)

I just didnt want you to hit the same wall / problem I ran into that can be a very expensive upgrade!
