    Yep it's a '14. Stiff suspension front and rear. New low profile 19" front wheel makes steering quicker and bike feels more top heavy in parking lots and stop lights (comparing to Charlie's '09 SG) but the engine is great ! Pulls hard especially 2, 3 4 gears. Feels like secondaries opening up on a four barrel. New controls for radio are initially intimidating but I got used to them in a hurry . Seat about 2" to far forward for my legs. I was wishing for highway pegs. Tranny worked good and exhaust sounded ok. Here it's in low 80's temps at traffic lights it went to one cylinder every time. I didn't care for the take off from the lights on one cylinder but overall I like it a lot. I'd still buy a ultra EG but not water buffalo one.

    Based on the comments I heard from her, the vette is a whole lot nicer, plus easier to bring home to the wife...;)

    Start of day 3 in the quest for the mythical HRK. (The quest for a dragon would be easier!)

    At idle roll the throttle forward (no dummy not toward yer self) and hold it there, the cruise control light will begin to flash, then will be green meaning the hot idle procedure is active, keep throttle held to stop (again away from you not reving it up) until it goes solid orange. That means the cylinder cut out is disabled.

    I've thought about that, but if you was you would be complaining about all the snow.

    I canceled mine out a long time ago, don't like it cutting out.
