 |  May I be called 'core now? Picked up my beautifull '05 SVS in royal blue (they just dont make them prettier than that for my eyes now do they) and rode it out to show my girlfriend. Now aparently this thing is loud, everyone tells me it is, but I cant hear it so much on the bike. Anyways so fast forward to 7AM this morning out the Stowe, VT area. wake up and go out to start the bike after breakfast, and find it in this condition http://www.totalmotorcycle.com/BBS/a...hp?pic_id=3539 http://www.totalmotorcycle.com/BBS/a...hp?pic_id=3540 and suprisingly, I wasnt that cold riding in! then again my girlfriend says I am a bear and therefore am always warm.

| Solo seat cowl and it looks like a Yosh exhaust. Is this right? My stock exhaust is pretty quite and I like it that way. I can leav my neighborhood at 6:30 AM without fear of waking up the whole street.  Don't forget to remove to warning stickers...

| Definitely get a cover for that girl. gotta keep her happy and she will keep you happy. Just don't let the gf know that your bike is a girl, she might get jealous, or your gf to turn out to be a lesbian

| yeah I have a cover for her, was at my girl's house and didnt have it. Actually every morning its been pretty cold. yes lou, thats a yoshimura exhaust, just found out from the previous owner that its also got a custom mapped power commander and K&N and he claims it eats supersports in the same class up to 100mph. Not a claim I feel like testing, but kinda cool to know anyways. yeah its a bit loud, but if I pilot it nicely its not THAT bad
