Healthy is merely the slowest rate at which you can die
Some people will tell you that slow is good - and it may be, on some days - but I am here to tell you that fast is better. I’ve always believed this, in spite of the trouble it’s caused me. Being shot out of a cannon will always be better than being squeezed out of a tube. That is why God made fast motorcycles, Bubba….Hunter S. Thompson

Hey man! How's the Kingpin?
I handles great--albeit with the style of the bike you're never taking on the Isle of Man. It's a really laid back cruiser position--you feel it in your shoulders after about 6-8 hours, but nothing terrible. And you gotta love the look of 40" beach bars!Healthy is merely the slowest rate at which you can die

The Kingpin is good Tyler.
I have about 55,000 miles on it so far, and it runs strong. I ride it to work every day. That's one good thing about living down here. Although there is no real downtime to do upgrades on the bike.80 SG XS1100

Finally out riding this girl. Lovin the big comfy bagger--gets well over 40 mpg, big ol' seat, and it just glides down the road. Awesome!

yeah, the ride is the thing, everything else is secondary.
But what color is it really?
Artificial light photos show milk chocolate.
Sunlight photos show cinnamon.
Overcast natural light photos show dark chocolate.Fred Hill, S'toon

Many years ago, when fluorescent lights were new and developing technology, Sears stores put the new tech in their stores. Now the CRI (color Rendering Index, how closely the light simulates the light colors of a standard Incandescent bulb) were horrible back then. So Customers were buying these brown sweaters and bringing them back to the store complaining about the color on a very consistent basis. It seems the sweaters were only brown under fluorescent light, everywhere else they were red.Life is what happens while your planning everything else!
