        Hey Droopy, I'll tell ya, you shouldn't have to deal with something like that 450. :-\ Those suckers will drive you nuts! ::) Tell you what, if you'll just load that critter up, bring it about 2/3's the way to my house, I'll met you, take it off of your hands and not charge you a cent to do it! ;D I hate to see anyone suffer! :D

         Seriously, Cool deal there! 8) ;) Hope things work out for you on that one! ;)

                                         Later on, Bill :) ;)

        ONLY 6000Miles!!!!! Oh Man, That's the WORST kind! ;D It's not even broke in yet and that's even worse than I expected! ::) You MUST be a VERY strong-willed person! Now just remember, if at any time you realize that it's too much for you to handle it, I'll be there to take it off of your hands and I won't charge you a thing! :D

           Seriously, only 6,000 miles? Whoa! :o Keep us posted on what's going on, okay? There are 2 450 forums, that I know of:

Hey Droopy,

Bill's got enough going on in his life.  Being the good friend that I am, I'll let you drop the bike off at my house.  It's probably a little closer.  And, it is warmer in NM, so the bike'll be happier.  I'll only charge you a six-pack of a good dark beer to take it off your hands.

Really, you should be ashamed rubbing our faces in this.  Just drop it off here, and all will be forgiven.  (Looks like you could have some real fun with that thing!).

        Hey droopy, you could also drop in over at hondatwins.com and check things out. ;) There's a pretty good mix of folks there too! Some from here and from several other forums, that pop in from time to time to see what's going on. :)

            Good, glad you're checking things out over there on the Twins forums too! ;) Don't have a clue why you couldn't use droopy over there either. ???
