I live in flat straight Florida, last week we took the Hypers and a group of friends to North Georgia, Tennessee and North Carolina and had a blast! Here are some pics someone took of the bikes and a couple videos. If you care to see all of them, they're here.

Nope, not us we left town Sunday morning. That's funny though, I wish we would have come across them. We were there 8/2 to 8/6.

Yea, you're in FL too, you know what I'm talking about. I did drop it once because of the tiptoe issue and once when I couldn't see a big rock sticking out of a ditch in the dark. That one trashed the bars and the stupid blinker/mirror/guard assembly. Replacements on order (not OEM).

what do you care what he wears. He's got a helmet, gloves, jacket, long pants...you don't have to wear full leathers every time you ride.

I live in west TN, been wanting to head out to east TN / Carolina's with the Hyper but haven't got the chance yet
