It might have a shitload more cubes but the 1200 Sportster will 'whup it's ass' off the line - but then that's what Sportys are for eh!

Had a cracker BBQ with some dudes from a trailer park we met at a pub in Kemerrer, (Wy) - good tucker like shrimps, lean steak, roast spuds, corn on the cob, salad.They were excavator drivers etc and a good bunch - picked us up at the motel and dropped us off later so I didn't need to worry about wrestling the 'bagger' home after a few Fat Tires. (beers).

Heading off to Bonnerrvirle (South Otago pronounciation) in an hour or so and then down to Texas after a couple of days or so at 'the salt'....
