Default new ride

Well, I decided to get another Vette. I still have my tt car, but this one is a little different. Instead of concaves, I went with the extreme lip. Still gotta be red though...Heres some pics...












Look at those lips!




There is some truth to this post...Now that I have the Corvette related part out of the way, heres pics of the real new ride...













picked it up on MLK day

Thanks guys...

It is/was my first big tire bike...I was originally going for a chopper, something with a serious rake and huge rear tire...But I figured, the lack of speed would eventually make it boring...So I went with the next best option...Alot of the chopper guys around here are actually going to the fatty sportbikes for that same reason....

As far as the ride, to put it easily. Riding a normal 190mm tire, say on an R1 or Gixxer, in turning, its 80% lean and 20% counter steer. On this thing, its 110% counter steer and 0% lean ...not really, but more like 95% cs...Its fun though, comfy as a couch and get plenty of thumbs up...and it moves, albeit it does spin alot.

Very nice.

Is that the equivalent of a 2 wheeled Z06?

It must have cost a fortune to get a countertop big enough to hold a Corvette.
