A ride around Tampa Bay...

[the Ferret]

Nice pics! Beautiful bike. Gosh I agree the bike is just so right.
I love the twin pipes too.

With regards to the tail pack, I step on the left footpeg to give myself the clearance for mounting and dismounting, or use the jump thru method.

I hate love bugs! First time I ran into them was on a tour to Florida..with an open face helmet. Thank goodness for a Vetter Fairing. They made filling up with gas a major pain. Nasty bugs!
