Gentlemen,
Sorry to be away so long but, have been on pressing business and the mental anguish about a certain fighter I know.
She lives and is cancer free now so, I'm cocky again and full of piss and vinegar. This bike is something special to you guys and I see it. Never got mine on the road. It has 70 miles on it from puttering around the neighborhood and across the street in a parking lot. I've always likened everything in life to boxing and honestly without stepping on toes, this machine has done nothing to inspire confidence that it can win a fight. It is just to complicated and "plasticky"(Soft in the middle as they say). I'll bet some of you that have dumped it, have spent some serious money replacing parts. Anyway, it is inexperience, riding something that is way to heavy ( for a beginner like me) and plain inability to read all the electronic stuff at the same time while riding this machine that is resulting in my decision to put the bike up for sale. I guess the main reason for writing this last post is, I want to say a special thankyou to Vince, for being my friend. You don't even know me, but, you were there. I take great stock in this. If you ever need me for anything, let me know. Best of thoughts to all you guys.

Jim. Good to hear life is looking up for you again. I've dumped the bike....no damage what-so-ever..the OEM engine guard did its job well. I'm sure you'll sell the bike with no problem. Posting in the 'for sale' section should speed things up. I hope now that you're finished with your latest fight, you have the time to give your next bike a 'fighting' chance by taking it further than the parking lot. 8) :D I know, I know, it just doesn't trick you trigger...Just had to get my dig in while you're still hanging out with us. ::020::

Good luck!

Thanks for the post Jim and the best of luck with whatever direction you end up going with the SuperT or any other bike you decide to try.

Hey Jim ... If you don't like it, don't keep it. It's great to have choices. There's one out there somewhere that will tickle your pickle. You'll find it. Very best of luck to you. R ::008:: ::003::

Glad your fighter won the battle and hope you find a ride that puts you in a happier riding place :) Good luck to you.

Congratulations on returning to the cancer free world again. It is only a bike.....Time is a more valuable resource.
