1st year with the 14
03/23/11 12:30 PM

I'm bored so I figured I'd post some pics of my bike from my trip to the Upper Peninsula of Michigan last summer with my wifers. Hope you like.

Laurium, MI

Copper Harbor, MI
would like to come back here when I'm not completely exhausted - lots of woodsy twisties and fresh tar!

Crossing the Mackinac Bridge

Crappy restaurant in Munising, MI

Stretching my legs at a ghost town in Fayette, MI

Loved Manistique, MI

It was a good thing the 14 is faster than a moose!

Great Pictures Crusher!

In the picture on the bridge is the bar end some kind of cruise control device? If so how do you like it and where can I get one?
Thanks

Thanks for the good words.

Snuffy, that's a Kaoko throttle lock. I got mine at Twisted Throttle for about $80 which was the best price but I kinda thought it was pricey at the time. Now I can't imagine not having it. I think any throttle lock is gonna be kinda tricky on a bike with so much power and torque cause it always wants to speed up and finding that sweet spot where it holds a speed can be kinda tricky. It's great for long flat highway stretches, though. But as far as the Kaoko itself, it is well built, simple in design which means it won't wear out and super easy to install. If you've ever installed a bar-end it's no different. The gnarly profile comes in handy for massaging a sore palm as your riding down the road, too!

I love 'em. Kinda disappointed in the chinsey screws they use for the door restraints. First time the door slips outa your hand while opening them and those screws get yanked. I should find a solution to that this year. Beef it up some.

Viper, the bike no longer looks like that. lol I just took some pics with the new paint and all the luggage attached but I never got around to getting it off the camera. The Speed Beagle wanted to ride and then before ya know it Easter was here... I'll have to look for that camera when I get home tonight..

I do like the SE stock paint but it's very thin and was starting to show age after being only two years old, so I customized it a bit and made it mine!
