So, my 09XB12Ss is in the shop again for another waranty issue, and my friend, and sunday/monday riding partner, Guy_Glover has forced me to borrow one of his many 1125's...I am in love!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I still love my Ruby(the xb), but these are 2 totally different animals. I have met my next bike!

Froggy! What happened to the two bikes laid down? Did you do that on purpose? That is hilarious! Thanks for sharing: )

They were water boarded.

Looks like they were dismounted Jeremy Clarkson style...

That's the natural state for Froggy's Blast...and he has a hard time getting both feet on the ground on the XB

...and I LOVE some Clarkson! I just wish our local cable company hadn't replaced the BBC version of TopGear with this pathetic US farce.

On both History (the normal channel for it), AND on VOD.

Jeremy losing his face while slamming the throttle in the Atom? STILL one of my favorite TV clips. EVER.

edit - now that I post that, I'm hoping that I got the right face for Jeremy...but knowing me, I'm picking the wrong guy LOL. I know I have the right show, though!

Tepid...I know the feeling. When I bought my 1125CR I believed I could never sell my XB. I had over 23K miles on it and it felt like it was a part of me. Well, after riding the CR then going back to the XB, it wasn't long after that that I decided to sell my XB. I do miss it at times but I LOVE my CR. Would love to put a steering stabilizer on it and get it back on the track. : ) (I'll be picking her up this Sat from the shop after having the stator replaced under warranty)

Jewels, don't go talking all crazy... I have like 17,000 or so miles on my XB since october 2009, and I will not sell her, she is a part of the family, but I think that at some point in our near future I may have to adopt a sibling for her!
