But be advised even with the UCE's you will spend more time wrenching and doing maintenance then with the LS650, not a bad thing just something to take into consideration
Toe Knows...
... and I agree...
Geez,.. Buster,.. are your friends screwin' whitcha", or what?...
Yunno' what?... if followin' don't work out... lead..
Ride yer' own ride... let them figure out what bike they need to keep up...
If my buddies want to ride on a Savage inappropriate ride... I just don't go...
They want me to come along,.. they know what rides my Savage likes...
This way,.. I can back out of rides I don't care for,.. and they can exclude me from rides if they want to, without offense...
win, win...
PS,.. I think RE's are lovely machines... but I wouldn't buy one... (they need to step up a bit, to get to Jap standards)... (and they can,... Triumph did it,.. Guzzi doin' good, too)... RE will get there...just not yet...
JMHO...
