Ha, yeah you make a good point. On my other bike, an old air cooled 1100 4 cylinder, it may have been running even hotter and I never would've known. but when I saw 200+ temps I was trying to think back to the cars I've had with a gauge and was thinking 200+ was getting pretty hot so I got scared. Especially when the fans weren't kicking on, I was about to start checking fuses.

 

[QUOTE=sorny;357059]lol, you're the guy I was thinking of that was in East TN. You mentioned the SH that Honda of Knoxville had for sale. I saw that bike on their site and almost went to look at it. Low miles and super clean.

But anyways, nice try on the rims lol. I like the bright blue and silver combo and the guy who had the bike before me had repainted the frame and engine with a nice silver paint so it's all bright and silver as well. But hey we should go riding some time if you're close to Knoxville (I'm an hour North in Oneida but go to Knoxville often)... just don't steal my rims




I don't mind it because the bike sounds so mean but it kinda irks me a little bit. If I had to buy a $500 pair of slipons to fix it then I'd live with it but if the PAIR mod is so easy I'll try it. I like exhaust to be smooth and mellow and the popping is starting to get to me. To fix it I just grab some throttle and that clears it right up though [/QUOT

My bikes Honda Wings on the tank are Silver and yours.......aren't. B-)

 

And checkmate.

Am I the only person that looks at a new (to me) vehicle and doesn't notice certain things for a few days? When I bought my CBR my eyeballs were so flooded with yellow and black colors that it took me like a WEEK to realize that the fairing on the kickstand side was solid black and not yellow/black. Anyways, while changing the oil today I realized that the rims were actually black and just painted silver because it was done kinda half ***. Not a totally awful job because it's not peeling off but there's some small spots that you can see black shine through. Oh well. I also didn't realize that the motor was painted silver too.

Anyways, you probably probably don't want to trade rims now Still need to ride sometime though since you're nearby.

 

Text me 865-964-1145 Im thinking of polishing the lips om rims. Your bike looks sharp. scratched my cowl 3 freakn times

 

Thanks man. I'll save your number in my phone and text you... maybe we can go riding some weekend. Where are you at in East TN exactly?

Here's another pic.. a little "sportier" looking. Looks nice, I agree... of course there's some flaws close up but looks nice still...best looking bike I've had in a looooooong time (ever probably). I love it. Wish I could take the summer off work and just ride every day instead of riding 2-3 miles to work and back at best but I'm lucky to be able to do that I guess.
