Hi all.. just wanted to get my feet wet taking pics of my new bike.

Sweet ... man I wish they would make an RSTD with the Roadstar motor. Now watch out while your credit card over heats from accessories!

You gotta love a cruiser with a V-Max engine!

Ahh, like Matt said, nothing like a V-Max enging. 98 hp, 100+ torque, they sure can move. My dad has got a Venture, and while it's a little heavy in the corners, it'll pull away from a lot of people.

Just a warning for everyone, when you take a corner going 85+ the front end starts to get a little lite from all the fairings.

Sweet looking machine, Pat! Pics were great, but too few!

That is a giant, beautiful, bike. Congrats!!

Thanks everyone. Yes, after being used to a 700 Magna (and an 800 Marauder) as my most recent bikes, this one is a whole different animal. I got her for two reasons - 1) so I could comfortably carry a pillion and 2) because it had that V-4 engine and nobody else out there is putting one in a cruiser. Every day I'm getting more comfortable with her

z_bassman - I'm a bass man too! Been a guitar man since 1974 but have been playing bass now for about 3 years in my current group. Perhaps we should put together a party and everyone who belongs to the pashnit forum who is a musician could be on the bill?

There are some great photogenic areas around here and I will venture (no pun intended) to find them and take pics of them and the bike too.. I just need to figure out how to get those shots without blocking traffic or causing glares..
