I'm back with a new toy!! 4 Months ago  
Well my move over to the Mean Streak didn't last long. I got my tax returns and found This bad boy for $3500 in Daytona lastnight.

2001 with 17K miles, Corbin bags, Wrapped V&H Longshots, Barons BAK, Stage 3 jetting, Kuryakyn Tombstone rear lighting, Corbin Dual Tour seat, and huge (dont know which brand) comfy floorboards.

The only downs to the bike is it has alot of pitting and flaking on the chrome parts that are aftermarket. Wheels, taillight combo, floorboards are all needing refinishing. However it runs great, and I'll clean those things up as I get the time. Proabably going to end up powdercoating all the chrome black anyways. Still got my Black Roadburner exhaust that never got put on the Purple Beast so I'll take those wrapped pipes off and put the Roadburners on.

Here are plenty of pictures of BOTH my bikes now.

Well the Mean Streak is definetly the most fun, very nimble with good peppy throttle response and the brakes to slow it down quick. However the Roadie with that Corbin saddle is amazingly comfortable.

I only have the Meanie tagged right now so I'll ride it till she sells, while I'm cleaning all the pitted chrome on the Roadie and powdercoating some parts.

Wife doesn't like the Mean Streak, so it has to go. I'm not allowed to have 2 bikes AND finish my 1970 stepside chevy project, lol.
