v8, that is really not a bad idea. I've had several street bikes in the past, but it has been at least 12-15 years since the last. Not sure what a class at the Harley dealership costs, but I would rather take them from someone who KNOWS how to ride. I think the investment of a few bucks for tips that might save your butt one day would be great!
cp,
My wife has informed me that I will not begin to like chrome until at least 2010 :!: :?
Thanks again for all the comments!
