What are you referring to?

Is there an opposite of on awesome?
I was referring to the same picture that the two gentlemen posting above me were referring to. Your first and third lines made no sense, were you a little drunk while posting?

It's you^2, that's likely. Don't take him seriously, that's dangerous business. ;) The ride was indeed awesome though. Glad you enjoyed the pics. :D

The trunk is ESSENTIAL. The Vstrom is worthless without it, especially since I'm used to the utility of the generous space under the seat on the PCX. If you get a motorcycle like the Strom, the trunk will be a necessary addition regardless of whether or not your wife is on there. :)

She actually can jump up onto the seat of the Strom! She likes the Strom TOO much though, I'm fairly sure she spent half of our riding sleeping. :?

Very nice strom, I used to ride the SV650 and 1000 myself. Its a bulletproof v-twin and pretty cheap too.
Also, is that a pellican or storm case you have fitted to your plate? did you just hardware mount it to a givi plate or something?
Old enough to know its a bad idea, young enough not to care
