| Eldon,
Welcome to the site and the Silver Wing. Why don't you tell us the differences between the SWing and the Buell when you get a chance. I know you just got the SWing but we all like to read about different bikes. _________________ Ride safe, JeffR 2007 Silver Wing (30,000 miles) 2005 Majesty 400 (sold 12,500 miles) 2004 Reflex (sold 3,500 miles) Givi Windshield, top case, vista cruise, power commander, dr pulley sliders, air hawk seat pad, (J.

| Eldon,
Welcome to the site, enjoy the ride.
I really like the old school look of the Buell Blast, but I understand the "B-Last" left a bit to be desired in the performance realm. |

| My name is MarkII. I live in Rossville, GA. I have a 2005 black Honda Silverwing. I bought it with 752 miles on it 2 years ago. I now have 3600 miles on it with no problems. I added a top box, 3brothers performance backrest riser 5" and mirror risers. I basically use it for work transpo... but ride about 2 hours on my off days. I really like this machine! |

| Welcome to both Eldon and MarkII  You've picked a great site to join. Lots of info and fun to be had here. My bike's an '05 too Mark and had about 2000 miles when I got it a little over 2 years ago. Attending mostly Patriot Guard and American Legion Riders missions/meetings, I'm just up over 6000 miles now. Still, like you, no problems with the bike. |

| MarkII,
Welcome to the site. Enjoy the ride.
I am very curious about the box cars behind you in your avatar photo. What's the deal? |

| Welcome guys, nice low mileage steads. I'm thinking maybe I ride my Wing too much!!!!  I have done 3600 in 8 months and I didn't ride all of November and December because of the ice. Not as much as some I know. I like my car. Just not as much as the Silver Wing. Ride - ride - ride. Makes you feel great. |

| Eldon & Mark Welcome to the Swing life,  it's a great life.I got my wing in Feb.this year with less than 2,400 mi.I now have over 11,000.So be prepared to put on some miles. I think they are addictive.So good luck with your new scoots and enjoy. |
