| Live in West Ga and have been riding for many years. I just bought the silverwing today. Haven't ridden it enough but think I'm going to like it. I have two other bikes but now don't think they will be ridden much.

| Welcome Dix42, I think you will really like your Silverwing, but be careful until you become accustomed to the difference between it and a regular motorcycle. Pulling that clutch in will stop you short. :lol!: |

| Thanks for the welcome to all. Hrad to believe but....Last week when I went to buy a new cycle, I actually went to buy a Kawasaki Concours 1400, tried it out, top heavy, didn't like it. Tried out a 2012 Honda Gold wing, too heavy, didn't like it. Tried Honda Silver Wing, just right. I just sold my Honda 1100 Shadow and Suzuki 400 and Suzuki 650. I guess one never knows for sure until you actually ride them for awhile. Great bike. |

| Hello Fellow Travelers, Just returned from picking up my 2012 SW ABS, I'm in love! Formerly owned a TMAX (great ride, no ABS (in the US) and just a tad tall for me); traded in my '09 MP3 400 - interesting ride, not in the SW's class and a pain for parts. Also have an '07 Reflex ABS. Looking forward to some great SW scootering. |

Sounds like Intel's roadmap of their processor development.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intel_Tick-Tock I was more thinking; Tick, a second passed, Tock, another second slowwwwwly passed,then 60 long - slow - seconds later and a minute passed, tick, yet another second passed and then tock the next second slolwly went by- and so on!!!!! |
