I spent a night in Bar Harbor, ME prior to getting on the Cat Ferry to Yarmouth, NS to spend a week riding in Nova Scotia. Bar Harbor was amazing. It was nasty weather the day I rolled in, so I wasn't able to go through Acadia National Park, so I have an excuse to go back. :lol:

I've said it before and I'll say it again, if anybody ever has the opportunity to ride to/through Nova Scotia, do it. Of 47 states and 6 Canadian provinces I've ridden through, Nova Scotia is at the top of my list. Absolutely amazing! I love it there!

i think you mean "bah hahbah"

Nooooooo..... dont go to the dark side! :panic:

I am considering a older model GS after talking to a few people about the newer GS issues. The older ones are suppose to be tanks while the new ones can't take a beating.

more money for mods!:rockwoot: you'll need it

This is only my third season riding and Im no where near fast but I already know where youre coming from trip. I see myself having a newer ss as my next bike and doing some track days and then either adding or trading for something like a busa to use as a sport tourer like grex to just take long trips on.

i honestly think, the day i give up sportbikes, will be the day i quit riding for good.... cruisers, motards, tourers just dont do it for me, that being said, i enjoy riding a slower pace as much as i do hauling ass, lately i've been slowing it down overall, but i probably wont give up sportbikes and their awesome power, braking, handling, etc... I'd rather have it and not need it, than need it and not have it!!

Your thought process is a bit different. I was going out and pushin pushin pushin the limit farther. I was doin stupid shit on public streets for the high of it. Get home and realize how fuckin stupid it was. How much I had to loose for a few seconds of adrenaline. Couple that with my desire to not be a squid or associated with a squid. I just knew it was time to get rid of the 9R. I knew if I just bought a 600 I would do the same thing but ring its neck to get the speed of the 9R. I knew I had to get off sportbikes. They just have to go fast, they aren't made to kick back.

I went to the chopper. I still wanted power and needed cool replacement. Last year when i would ride the wife's HD I felt that I was just riding to ride and for the enjoyment of the ride by itself. It wasn't about how cool I or the bike looked... just enjoy the ride. It was then when I realized I was over the "coolness" of the totally custom chopper. So I went the way of the HD and love it.

I love the "turn key", I love the ability for it to travel on its own. No trailer, no added nothing. It can just go. I can not wait to do some traveling on the new bike.

So see, my story is a bit different but the end results are just as similar as the way we got to this place. We want to enjoy the ride.

That's what its about. Again, enjoying the ride.

What you going for? XR?

You got it. I've got a call into my dealer to demo one. My buddy is thinking about giving up his GSXR for the HD Rocker, as well.

i want a versys or klr....
