Thanks for the prayers Blue, I do my best to keep my ass in one piece - I mainly pray for our troops though, they're the ones who do all of the dirty work... I can leave and come home whenever I want. Yeah, I love the graphics/color on the SE as well, had thought about spraying it, but let those thoughts go once I got it to this point! Just hoping that the new one is at least as pretty as our "old" bikes are!!!!

Life may begin at 30, but it doesn't get real interesting until about 150... Ride or die!

You can'tell a dick buy its pants on and you can't tell what that bike will look like. No photo will give it justice. It has to be physically seen before you make comment.

Nice lady getter, btw.

Looks awesome, but I'm sure I'm ready to trade my 2010 just yet.. I only put 1200 miles on over the summer. I definitely like the 2012, Will probably stop by my dealer and get the scoop anyway lol
