Gotta start somewhere

#1

Post by Number7s »

My first bike was a Nighthawk 750, currently ride an Aprilia tuono. I've loved the look of a naked goldwing although I do not have one now. I figure if i cruise this site enough I'll end up getting one. It's a shame these bikes get wrapped up in luggage. Although you cant deny the looks of a wind jammer fairing. :guitar
