well its been a year that i bought my bike. started out as a commuter when gas was hitting 4.00 a gal. it turned out to be a whole lot more weekend exploring and trail riding.i've added d-flex hand guardes,utah skid plate, wally world lights,cut down milk crate for a rack,used some castoff packs for a tail and tank bags, home made gps mount. not much of a poster but i've learned so muce on this site. thanks to everyone

 

Nice pic's. I like those old bridges.

 

Good on ya!!

 

Congrats

I too have the one year anny in 2 days on my 09.......Everything has been wonderful....I look forward to my goal of 100k miles on the bike...Many rebuilds....But worth it..

Perfect bike for a 20 year old or 70.....And light enough to do what ya want...



Things that sucked the first 3 months still suck....

Headlight...Its either hi or low...Not both

Road Spray on the feet....Rain and water just seem to spray on the toes

GasTankSize....Not that I have to fill up...Its just always having to look and see......

Nice. I dig the milk crate and re-use of old packs for racks/bags. Very resourceful!

 

glad to see you like the bike, im also looking to add a ton of mileage to my bike, just went pass 10,000 on my last trip, have had the bike 11 months. i want pics of the milk crate rack, im broke and have access to a milk crate or two, and need a rack before my next big trip.

 

Cool to here about the exploring. That's my favorite thing to do on the bike.

Hey gamebird, do you have sheep skin gel seat pad on your bike? If so, how do you like it?

 

thanks for the pics, i think im going to try something simular for my tent and sleeping bag for my next trip. on the last i had them in a back pack, about 18 lbs for 280 or so miles.
