Kent your gonna love those! I just got a Givi E52 with break lights and a Gel backrest last night for my new ride! In case you didn't see it my Bandits gone...I got a Aprilia Futura and it has it's own bags, it's a nice ride. Problem is I spent my money for BOSS on the rack and trunk so it's looking like I'm probably not going to be able to make it to Virginny. Calli is still on though!! and like you the closer it gets the more ready I am to go!
With any luck we'll hook up and see each other before time to go....heck how far are you from Columbus? Maybe we could meet up at Quaker Steak bike night some wednesday or the Iron Pony some saturday.... I'm outta town from the 16th 'til the 26th this month but I'll have access to Bandit Alley so let me know what you think.
