DblTrbl Posted April 22, 2016 #1 Posted April 22, 2016 Drove to Virginia last Tues night and brought this home. I will get it out of the shop this morning at 9:30 and give it a little shake down run of a 100+ miles or so. Had the shop go over it and change fluid. It was idling very high and needed a little carb work from not being ridden. Should be fun to ride!!

DblTrbl Posted April 22, 2016 Author #6 Posted April 22, 2016 Just remember to put your feet down when you come to a stop sign:whistling: Craig Yes, it was strange to put my feet down at stops. First few were a bit shaky..LOL This 1100 is a nice little bike. Nice response in the turns and it has some nuts to get up and go. I like the lower seat also. I'm so use to my Venture seat that after only 50 mile loop I was ready to get off the bike. I'll probably be selling this soon or using it as part of my final payment for my trike (hope it is finished next week...FINALLY)....
BlueSky Posted April 22, 2016 #8 Posted April 22, 2016 Well, you didn't really know if you liked it until you rode is a ways. Should be easy to turn around and sell as sharp as it is.
