Hey all,
Okay, so I don't ride a Bandit, but I'll be working on one for a while. My wife's friend is purchasing, for her first bike, a 2000 Bandit 1200.
My wife and I have repeatedly informed her that we won't enjoy scraping her remains off the side of I85, but she won't be disuaded.
I'm registering here because I know she'll be coming to be for maintenance and stuff on her bike and figured I'd take advantage of the wealth of information (and share whatever I can as I gain experience on this bike). While I'm a web engineer by trade, I'm attending Dekalb Technical College (here in Atlanta) and doing their night course for "Motorcycle Service Technology".
I took her new purchase out for a test ride the other day and ... wow ... the power on these bikes is just amazing. I normally ride a cruiser (albeit a 1500cc one) and my wife rides a SV650 ... but there's just no comparison. The feeling of having that much power at my control was intoxicating.
So, that's it, just wanted to say 'hi'.
