A lot of people appear to have special circumstances....

I sold my first Magna for more than I paid for it.

Me either.

I've been riding on and off for 20 years or so and never took the MSF.

For all I know I might have to put a foot down if I did the figure 8 ...maybe not but I'm just sayin'...

Can't access them here at work. They've been posted here before. Maybe some of the old timers can help us out and post one.

Thanks Rider.


That bike and I had a love hate relationship. Some days I loved the colors, some days I hated it. All things considered it was a great bike. And super rare. Thats a factory color. I dont know what asshole would come up with a paint job like that...but it is.
