Nice looking bike John...
You will enjoy the 500 for a very long time...
Like Aaron mentioned not the best handling but it sure has a nice power band. Myself, I just try not to push to hard in the corners with mine, it gets to costly to put one of these things down, but it's still fun...
Happy for you, enjoy.

Very nice bike SS. Nice to see you are enjoying riding it.
I am always envious of your great collection of smokers!!!
We don't see most of those bikes down here but very rarely and when they show up for sale with CA title it's $$$$$$$$$$$
Someday I will ride my forever 500 project
Not the latest pic but the fairings are all mounted up now
Still lots of work to do.

WOW! That is a beautiful bike. Can't wait to see it finished and on the road. I'm going to the 500 side to check your build thread now.
Wish I had the ability to stick with one project and see it through to the end. I'm all over the place with many differnt things going on at once and not much seems to get accomplished.

Thanks! But you have a beautiful collection of bikes Mister SS!!!
And trust me, I have pushed it aside many times as it seems as tho it will never end. I kind of get sick of it sometimes and wonder WTF I decided to fit this body work on this bike. It has been on and off 100 f'ing times and about 50 more to go. I have all the stock bodywork plus a complete brand new "shitty" airtech set I could have bolted on and been riding a long time ago. I have never really done anything like this before. But starting to see the light at the end of the tunnel. Next spring???

Didn't realize you had a 500 up and running. Dopest two stroke quiver ever. Its guys like you who keep guys like me humble. Super stoked for you. if it starts with a C then ends with an ANADA its beutiful scenery. We're so lucky we live somewhere with enough space to open it up and not offend someone.
