  They ARE pretty amazing....I've had mine since August of '09, and got it on the road (long story) in March of 10....only 38,000 miles of experience with it, but I'm hooked. I still miss my H-Ds, but when I ride 2500 miles in a week without so much as a hiccup, I don't miss them that much....

draconarmy:  You may need to do more than TRAILER that rental to get it home....    May be a ferry ride involved too... ;D

Remember what Harry Callahan said as he walked off the pier leaving Hal Holbrook in the exploding squad car: "A Man's got to know his limitations".

What Greebarn says; you have to do what YOU are comfortable with...not what others expect of you.
Ride safe, and have fun.

no one here does any picking on any ...well except for GreenBarn, 49, petemoss, PC, 45, the rest are really nice unless you pick on Troll and he can throw the odd zinger at you.....perhaps you can take some of the heat off me.......no idea why they are always picking on me.

Oh, I think you have SOME idea..... ;D

And draconarmy, don't let anybody bully you into not trailering your bike, if that's what YOU want to do.  Sure, I'd prefer to ride to a bike event, but I can think of several good reasons that pulling it on a trailer would make sense.

I thought, from your initial post, that you had already taken the class. Don't dismiss the "little" 250s.. I have 250 Ninjas in my fleet, as well as the 250 V-Stars, Suzuki TU250X injected standards, and some Kawasaki 250KLXs...We train on MODERN machinery...
