      xs650mike, qhat is SWMBO ?

      Those are sure some marvelous mountain roads and beautiful back country too.

      SWMBO stands for "She Who Must Be Obeyed".

        I swear, that has to by my favorite acronym of all time. Ranks right up there with FUBAR.

        The wife was watching me post one night and I typed in SWMBO and she instantly asked me what that means. When I told her, I thought I'd never hear the end of it. LoL.

              Apart from jetting, probably not. I heard Sport 1.1's have higher top speed. More aerodynmic with their special fairing? This silver bike is probably an RH.

                Liked the picture of your bike soo much i thought i'd attach my very similar XS.

                Nothing like a bit of mutual backslapping, eh, my, what splendid fellows we are.

                  "La Contraria" eh? I like that. Beats "La Voz".

                  I am going to design a SWMBO T-shirt just to tick SWMBO off. She thinks it sounds too much like Bimbo.
