Went for a short ride and stopped out in the country to take a couple pics.  Then a bicyclist stopped and took a of me with the bike so that was cool.  He commented on how nice it was.  :)

I absolutely love the new handle bars!  They keep me in a much more natural aggressive position allowing me to stay more relaxed but ready to go at a moments notice.  Plus they look way sportier than the cruiser bars that were on there before.  And absolutely no complaints with the tires.  They are actually my new favorite, great characteristics all over the board and very affordable.  They're Shinko 705's.

Real nice! I wonder how many of those still see daily use? A real rare bird. When the Chennai Bullets were first offered for sale here, the ad line was "Identity Theft Not A Problem". You have that in spades.

Anyone who evens attempts to steal my bike will suffer the wrath of The God of Speed and 10 lifetimes of bad karma.  And perhaps a couple broken bones if I get my hands on 'em.   ;)

Well yes, but what enfield was alluding to with that phrase was not looking like everyone else.  For instance on my Duc i ride practically unnoticed . But the bullet gets me reports from friends where they saw me. Full face helmet and all, they know it's definitely me.

Well I used to have it mounted in the traditional area but after almost being rear ended 3 times in 2 months I decided to move it up higher to make it more visible.  Haven't heard any tires squealing behind me since.

Why didn't you center it on the fender, with the licsence horizontal. One of my bikes is mounted like that up high. I guess mine came out of the junkyard too.    ERC

It is a universal mount, maybe I'll give that a try and see how it looks.
