yeah, I got one of those.

Great bike.

Deals Gap is great, but there are tons of others just as good or even better.

Lolo pass is one of my favorites. Not as touristy.

There are more fun and enjoyable roads in that area than the Gap itself. I had more of a blast in other spots when I went there.

I wanted an FJR, Concours, or ST. Found a previously enjoyed ST and bought it.

Same here on the used ST. Bought an 03 several years ago, and it's been a great bike. Took it out west a few times, and it's a beast eating up chunks of miles on long days. It's just as good at eating up miles as it is on the twistys.

On my last day of riding, I rode it all the way back from Tucson (about 1300 miles). It's a good ride for pretty much anything on pavement.

I seriously doubt it now, I just don't believe you anymore since you can't even acknowledge the term for sportbikes is sportbikes. Crotch rockets would be like me referring to metrics as Harleys because they look the same.


You want me to "acknowledge" the "term" sport bikes? Are you fricking kidding me? You do nothing but insult bikers who ride cruisers but have the balls to expect me the respect you? And you've got the balls to call me ignorant? Get the frick out if here. If you knew shite you'd know that the number one rule when it comes the getting respect from a biker is to that to get respect, you've got to give respect. And You've got a lot to learn about respect.

And here's some news for you little sensitive girl. I've got buddies who ride crotch rockets and none of them have an issue with the term crotchet rockets. Unlike you they're not overly sensitive whiny bitches and understand the term crotch rocket is just a damn nickname.

It always surprises me that you aren't a teenager. You really have the mental capacity and anger issues of one.

I don't insult all riders that ride cruisers, I have owned some. They are good to flip occasionally and can make money pretty easy on them. I know a lot of very capable riders that also own them.

So do you have an issue with people referring to metrics as Harleys? I mean it's just a nickname like how a lot of people call all colas, coke.
