Dan Diego 40 Posted April 13, 2017 Jim stopped by to take some professional photos of my Katoom. He promised that I'd get AT LEAST 5% more with better photos. I thought my iPhone photos were fine, but ADV has spoken and I brought in a pro. Thanks, Jim...the photos were extremely Boweresque. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Zubb 1061 Posted April 14, 2017 Damn! Dan. I'd have that girl all roughed up and dented within 10 minutes of ownership. Want to just loan it to me for a few days? She's a beaut! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Well, when Jim asked me what I was looking for, photo-wise, I said, "Make it look dark and gloomy and ominous...like Paul Bowers does it!" So, in short, you're my Lady Gaga.

Dan Diego 40 Posted April 14, 2017 Yes, yes...I know. Sometimes I ride really far and I wannna be comfortable. Hence, the pegs, the seat, the gel biker shorts and the sheepskin cover. Sometimes I ride all the way to Julian for pie and ice cream...and only stop once or twice. All apologies to the offended hardcore purists... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Took off my FastWay pegs (that I really liked) to review them. Told him they were fantastic but way too big. Unnecessarily so. And heavy. But I like them so much I never took them off.
