    Love the torque of my XB12Ss, good thing I can get my tires so cheap. Love seeing the look on the average riders face when they see the side of my tire worn more then the center. (Plus still having "chicken strips")

    Right on, way to knuckle up ace! I HATE the fact that I have spent more miles on the center section of my tires than the sides. I freakin love the twisties, but unfortunately we have all of about ONE decent road in Indiana for the twistie bits. Not one single mountain in this whole friggin state, no mountains means no mountain roads. The highest point in the state of Indiana is in the middle of a cornfield. No, seriously, it is!

    I would go insane... Buells were designed for bombing around on twisty backroads and the western 2/3 of Colorado is covered with them. I'm spoiled, put ~8000 miles on my bike this summer and only ~500 were straight highway.

    Thats getting a bit sarcastic Lesley........ I like tighter roads then most sportbike riders, add in some v-twin torque, alot of canyon miles and then tires wear funny.
