Howdy all, Anyone own a blue fully faired Firebolt in Houston/Houston area? I saw it today in the left lane on I-45 northbound by Hobby airport around 5pm. I didn't even recognize it at first until I saw the silver frame with puck. Pretty neat graphics too. Blue fairings with silver flames running from front to back. If you're on here, I would have waved but was in my cage. Nels |

You mean you don't wave even when you are in your cage? Are you mad? |

Well... A couple of reasons: 1. To a biker, I'd prob look like a tool rider wannabee waving from a cage. 2. Maybe hard to see through tinted windows and at 110 degrees out indicated, I ain't opening them! 3. Don't want to get too close to a bike. I know when I ride, I appreciate respect and cars keeping distance. Having said that, I always give the two-finger hello to other riders when I'm riding and I always wave through the back window in the car when someone let's me in. Nels |

That's pretty, some day I'll get mine painted. . . I dig your color matched wheels! Did you paint them or coat them? Are your plastics painted or original? |

"3. Don't want to get too close to a bike. I know when I ride, I appreciate respect and cars keeping distance." I waved at an M2 guy a couple years ago from my truck (we were going the same way on a three lane) and he nearly ran out of his lane when he saw me. Note to self: Don't lean out of your truck waving and screaming, 'I HAVE ONE TOO!' to anyone riding any kind of motorcycle. I bumped into the guy a few months later in another town and didn't say a word about what happened. I'm glad he didn't remember me from the truck. |
