      😄 Didn't lose any sleep staring at it, but did spend a lot of time putting the new bars on it and rerouting everything.

    I've ridden on a motorcycle 1 time, after my brother bought one. After he had a bad accident a few months later, never wanted to try it again. Today, I'm surprised at how many videos I watch now. Primarily because of BC. And a YT suggested video from Two Wheels Big Life. Now you're joining that exclusive club. 😊 Looking forward to your upcoming videos, as well.
    Godspeed as you venture forth.

      Thanks! I still only have a permit and need to take a riding test before I get my permanent license. I want to get a little more proficient with the bike before I take the test. It's easy though, but I still want more practice and tune the bike to my liking 😄

    Beautiful bike! Looks like a lot of fun, but I agree, Cafe Bars are uncomfortable, even if they look cool

      The cafe bars are fun for about 5 minutes. Even less the older you get 😄

      @saltyshellback  2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      This one was converted to a cafe racer, but it's not very comfortable with the low handlebars so I raised them up with the modified drag bars.
      The stock ones are a bit higher.

    I can now officially invite you to prospect for little Debbie’s MC, bacon chapter. Now that we both have motorcycles, we can call each other bro and shake hands with fingerless gloves on! I’ll be sending you a chain for your wallet. In all seriousness, I’m happy for you man. Two wheels gives you a sense of freedom that just doesn’t come from anything else I’ve tried, except trucking.

      I love riding, but life had different plans for me the last 30 years. Now I can enjoy the wind and bugs in my face while I still can😁
