        OH yes .. I remember the first time i turned the throttle on my 1100. All that torque and instant speed. It's not the sort of thing one forgets.

          Yeah, I remember mine allright....

          Scared me half to death. I was expecting fast, but holy geezus!!

          I won't ever forget that. I'm just glad noone was there to take pictures. I'm sure the look of sheer terror was amusing.

            When I got mine, years back, the PO said to me just as I was going to ride away "watch out, she's quick", boy was that the understatement of the year! A few blocks away, as I was leaving a stop sign, I gave her my normal Harley size twist on the throttle and just about lubricated my pants enough to slide off of the seat. I once owned an original Shelby Cobra and I don't think I was as scared of that car as I was of this bike. I tend to get used to her so every once in a while she has to wake me up and show me who the boss is!

            If there are more than three bolts holding it on there, it is most likely a very important part!
