Cool man, glad I saved your life and license

I figured I have the maxed out 916 in the garage, use it when I get in the mood while the Gold Wing is over the top in the other direction, a real tour bike. I wanted all the gizmos like CD, CB, Serious radio, Ipod and to cruise long distances in style and comfort. Actually, I'm looking forward to it.

I'd consider a carby 900ss sp....cheap, comfy pillion, handles good when properly set up, fun streetbike.

I had two of them, a '97 SS/SP and a '96 SS/SP. Great bikes that I rode for weeks on solo cross-country trips. But, she wasn't comfortable on either for a day's ride. We both loved the Triumph Sprint we had but a freak accident on the BRP totalled it. And, now that I've "fixed" the FZ1 to my liking with lower bars, cutting 1" off each end and turning them down, it fits me and I'm really starting to like it.
