    IMG_5823.JPG Hi all, purchased this 2003 T100 custom three years ago for my daughter. She took a low speed fall( road rash on cowl and pipe) and got spooked and stopped riding so I recently took it back. Looking forward to splitting my time on it from BMW R1100R custom.

    Hi Eli
    Welcome to the forum. What a great place to live although when I was last there I rented an Indian something or other but it was 50 degrees. Lovely up in the mountains at the ski resort but got cooked in the Vegas traffic.

    Nice Bonnie and welcome to the asylum. You should have that looking the business in no time at all. Sorry for your little one and do hope she is all right after the spill. They are quite a heavy machine for a little one so I can see how it scared her. Do tell her we all been there me to many times. Thanks for sharing the picture. I see you are close to Sandi T and Steve so you are in great company
    Regards
    Joe.

    She walked away from the spill thank god, but her arm was black and blue for weeks. after that she barely rode it and then only locally so I took it off her hands. Really enjoying it...very tight bike.

    Just moved to Vegas from New York 14 months ago...absolutely love it here! best kept secret in America. You nailed it...great skiing 45 minutes away in the winter and 10 months a year of great riding weather. even now with 110-115 degree days I still enjoy an early morning ride!
