New here, have had my 2005 for about two years, put about 18k miles on it. Been doing well, one drop, two offs, a few hundred in replaced farings, but, you know, the rest of the bike is solid as a rock, considering last time I threw it four feet down into a drainage ditch outside Ft. Bragg. Still rode it back the thousand miles back home to Everett WA. (Wear Gear!) Now, getting ready for another long ride, this time to Salt Lake City for WSBK. Nice ride if you avoid the freeways, this will be my third year to the races. Fabulous stuff. If you live withing 1500 miles of it and don't take the week to go, I wonder about you....
