From wkdenton at verizon.net Wed Feb 1 15:42:19 2017 From: wkdenton at verizon.net (William K Denton) Date: Wed, 01 Feb 2017 18:42:19 -0500 Subject: Has it been 20 years already? In-Reply-To: References: Message-ID: <027b01d27ce4$d40cebd0$7c26c370$@verizon.net> Hello friends, I still have my fast black '96 (Stealth Rocket). Not as many miles as some of you fellas (only 33K mi), but I still ride it regularly enough to keep the gas fresh and the pilot jets clear lol. Used it again this year on the 18th annual New Years Day Delaware River Run that I started back in 2000. Funny thing is... every time I think about selling it, I change my mind when I ride it again. In addition to its being worth more to me than anyone else, I find it hard to argue with a mc that does so many things so well and so easily. For me at least, the combination of good looks, comfort, power, economy and reliability is hard to beat. Having said that, I am looking into getting some lowered footpegs from www.knighdesignllc.com http://knightdesignllc.com/images/Motorcycle/Foot-Pegs/1-inch-lowered/Rubber /Silver/Foot-pegs-Rubber-1-Silver.jpg The extra 1" at the pegs combined with the 3/4" relief up top provided by the extra height built into my Russell Day-long saddle should go a log way towards add'l knee comfort. Be safe out there and watch your back for inattentive drivers from the rear!! Bill in Yardley, PA wkdenton at verizon.net '96 ZX1100-E2? "Stealth Rocket" ?83 RX50 ?Micro Cruiser?
