Well almost.
Will be taking in the little thumper on Saturday and picking up the little twin in two weeks when I return from Atlanta. Too bad I can't take it along.

And a special note for Alan C. :
I think you REALLY missed the boat when you jumped all the way up to 1800......I mean REALLY.
When you finally get tired of wrestling that big beast around, have a look at mid-range cruisers......600-800 cc.

The "little" VTX weighs only about 100 lbs. more than the GZ and runs like a scared monkey.
It's a 4 speed (better for using that low end torque) and will easily hit 60 in third......and then it actually still pulls in 4th. :biggrin: I've heard it still gets ~60 mpg if you don't thrash it hard.

Do you think the wife will notice that it's not a GZ anymore ??? :biggrin:
