New American Daytona Rider

Welcome to the BESTEST forum ever Sorry it's a bit late in coming, but I come from "DDA" where things are a bit sloooow
BTW, your bike looks stunning!!

 

They're a US thing, Ed....not too sure if it's a Federally mandated thing or something done at a State-by-State level...I think it's Federal....but all new bikes have to leave the dealers premises with the required reflectors in place....it's a reflection (no pun intended) on our litigious society....the same law applies to bicycles, BTW.



PS.....mine came off the first night I had the bike!

 

You rebel! :twisted:

 

....No, they have to leave the shop like that....as far as I know it's perfectly legal to take them off afterward (which makes it a pretty fucking stupid law!)...you're only required to keep the little licence-plate reflector on. God, I remember buying one of my MTBs and I actually had to sign a waiver to certify that when I left the store the reflectors were in place!! :doh:

 

Thanks for the compliment! I am trying to do this one right and not make it too gaudy.

 

hi there, welcome. i'm in the british forces, passed my test dec 2 last year in the morning, insured over lunch and picked the bike up in the afternoon! love the 675, hope you enjoy yours, looks a doozy, like the italics. are there many 675s out there? i there a site like this over there? looks like you are in d.c. from the pic. good luck with the bike.

 

There are actually more around then I thought but they are still quite few (which I like). I am just outside of DC like a few minutes. I absolutely love my 675 as well.

I hope you are enjoying the British Forces. I have said already on here, I met a bunch of you guys in Iraq and I have to say you are the craziest bunch of guys I have met. Very fun and entertaining though! Especially teaching us Americans how to drink tea...talk about stereotypical

 

Really? could i have got some extra discount

 

Hello buddy welcome these guys really are a great help. Nice choice of colour too buddy none better! Another forces guys on here how many is there?
Anyone in the Salisbury area?

 

Alright everyone, I am excited to be done with a 2 day fever and the next 2 days having a stomach virus becuase I have some mods piling up! I have some new-to-me Rizoma Lux grips sitting in my room ready to go on and a DID 525 Gold chain on the way. I also was looking into a mod I thought would be sweet and while searching how to remove the piece I found out that it is a pretty popular mod now. I am going to paint my gauge cluster ring gold (to match the SE theme). It looks sick and adds that royalty feeling to it. I cant wait and I will add pictures when i get them installed, stay tuned!

Edit: ....and like Tommo above, I have been wanting to get some gold windscreen bolts so might have to order those soon.

 

Turn it into a JP Special!!

 

Well unfortunately nothing new done to the D675 but I did meet up with some other D675 riders and some friends to go on a nice long windy ride. Anyway here are a few pics when we stopped one a motorcycle frequented area in Alexandria, VA





(Thats my roommates 1198 :twisted: )

 

lol actually it was my mates D675 that had the reflectors off...I have procrastinated on taken mine off and with putting on my rizoma gripsand my gold DID chain

Maybe Sun

 

:hole: :hole: seriously though take them off

 

+ 1,000,000 ....I took mine off as soon as I got the thing home.
