I started riding at the age of 16,a 100cc Suzuki,rode every day of the year.Toured Europe on a 500 BSA in the late 70's, that was a road trip.First new bike was a Kawi 650-4 .Bought my ' 07 ROADIE at the '08 bike show in Calgary.First season I put on 12,000 kms. I put V&H longshots on with a Kuryakyn chrome twin velocity air cleaner .Love the look and love the sound.I changed out the seats to Ultimate's and can ride all day in comfort.This winter,I added the hardbags,and saddlebag guards(thanks to GINO'S lowering brackets)as well as a "few" more items.REALLY looked forward to this years riding season.I did a road trip of 7200 kms in 18 days.I'm Area Coordinator and President of chapter #5111 Foothills AB, Star Touring & Riding Association.Thanks to C.C.for the great service and thanks to my friends in the C.C community for great support and ideas.Ride safe
