OrlinEngh Posted August 6, 2013 #1 Posted August 6, 2013 If all goes well I will be going to pickup my new to me bike tomarrow or Thursday, Its a 2001 Red on Red, We went over last Friday and took it out for a ride and that was all it took, I am going to miss my first gens I have spent alot of time on them and sure am going to hate to see them go but this second gen sure fits me nice and Sharon gave it the thumbs up and thats what matters, the only thing she said is she gets more wind being up higher but she is able to see more than the back of my head. I have been looking at all of the bling you can get for these, but the rest of this riding season will be getting the bugs worked out if it has any and just enjoy the new ride. I will get some pics put up as soon as its home and I get it all cleaned up. Orlin
darthandy Posted August 6, 2013 #2 Posted August 6, 2013 Congrats on the new machine. Yes by all means do include some pics. By the way, I thought the 2000 was red on red and the 2001 was red on black? But then again, what do I know? Andy

KeithR Posted August 6, 2013 #5 Posted August 6, 2013 If there is any bling you see and want don't wait to long cause some of it is getting hard to find. Keith
stickhandle2 Posted August 6, 2013 #6 Posted August 6, 2013 Congrats on the new ride Orlin, I just made the same move myself 3 weeks ago, from my 86 Standard to our new to us 02 Midnight Venture. Have fun on the new wheels. Mike.
Flyinfool Posted August 6, 2013 #8 Posted August 6, 2013 But I thought Sharon liked it when you hit the gas to go fast????
frodotoo Posted August 6, 2013 #9 Posted August 6, 2013 Red on red is a 2000 Post pics! It appears your bike just got a year older, time to renegotiate?
dysfunctional33 Posted August 6, 2013 #10 Posted August 6, 2013 Let me know when you get it home and are ready to go for a cruise. I'm always up for a ride with no apparent agenda..
OrlinEngh Posted August 7, 2013 Author #11 Posted August 7, 2013 It is home and yes it is a 2000 he had it listed as a 2001 no matter I am happy and so is Sharon, we got to go for about a hour ride, I will be keeping this bike for along time. Orlin

Morev4 Posted August 7, 2013 #15 Posted August 7, 2013 and guess who is the proud owner of his 87 and 92? Yup that's right this cat now has a full garage.

Be careful, First gens are still young and virile, once you have 2 together they have been known to breed and multiply, Just ask Yammer Dan or Condor.
