Blue of course. I'm just at 1000 clicks now. Been working everyday since I picked her up, but another day and I'm not working another weekend until October so the kms will start to add up. Im doing a 10000 km trip towards the end of the summer. Got a bunch of stuff to bolt on this weekend and with the exception of luggage I'm good to go.

nice!
our trip went off without a hitch, I do have to burn my seat, and replace it with a corbin, or with a sargent once they get their shit together.
Hovering around 12-13 km now, loving it all. ::015::
which way is your trip taking you?

I'm not a fan of the seat at all, I'm about 270 and it feels like I'm sitting on the seat pan after 40 min. Got the Corbin on the way, and a set of jesses to finish her off. Trip wise think I'm heading down to California first along the coast, spend a few days in the Vegas area and back uP through Utah. Still working on a rough Plan for it.

i'm back from my trip, no issues, good time, bike worked great, on and off road.
the seat is garbage, working on a deal with a guy from ohio, if that falls through, then corbin online.
also mra vario screen on order.
the bike covers miles like it's no body's business, and the street guys can't touch you in a bumpy paved road (hwy 99 from lilooet to whistler)

Well done, Greg. Glad you made it back safe and sound. Too bad Camshaft had to weenie on you. He was fencing, I believe. En Guarde !!! R

fencing indeed! could have used a buddy out there, did a pretty demanding detour on satuday afternoon, that took me into the boonies, scary by yourself, but hey,
the bike did great, did highlight a few issues, mainly, the seat is junk after 11 thou KM, and my cal sci shortie screen, and adj bracket from australia is not a good fit for me, so mra vario screen on order, corbin deal in the works,

Add me to the Alberta list, I live near Olds and work in Calgary. Wouldn't mind doing some rides over the summer, would like to check out the corbin seats when someone gets one, never sat on one yet.

well, we're going for a ride around bragg creek area, mabbe powder face over to hwy 40.
oddly enough, I snagged that corbin that was recently listed, should be here at the end of next week ::015::
I had a corbin on my DL and really liked, I see no issues with the seat.

PM your number, and I'll send out a text sat. morning with ride details
