Wow, and as "Mercer" said ... "Nice", very nice. You're right, it (and you) are going to love the dragon, both of them ... 1.) Tail of the ___ and 2.) Claw of the ____!

Maverick take a look at this Dragon in the sky - from the highest point on the Blue Ridge sign cross the road, climb the bluff and look out: he’ll be there.429324A8-1B86-44C5-B8B2-1DE1E5D9AFA3.jpeg

it's a blast. small gas tank and hardly any luggage only drawback. twisties, no problem. the rougher the better. here is a couple of vids I took last year at the dragon.
 
Reminds me of thr Ktm SDGT I had last year. Super fun but not a good fit on the street for me. The concours is fast enough on the street and is self limiting.
 
just recently sold a 630 sms husky. I'm still kicking myself in the butt about that one. it ate twisties. it was an Italian husky

Looks like Kill Boy takes the pictures at the same curve. My pix from many years ago looks very similar - except for my "porky" Connie (see pix on left).
The owner of Kill Boy used to live in Boca. He was a plumber in those days and rode to the "Gap" (Deals Gap back then) on weekends on his yellow "Wing" I'm planning to be there this fall in the wife's Fiat 500 to get an updated picture.

Little early for the fall colors but anytime is special time here. I tell my friends that this is where God rides. Enjoy.

Thought this thread was about Sophia Loren. But fixing your Norge I'm sure is fun too.😆
valve checks are effortless. the motor is very carlike. separate sumps for tranny and motor. great torque the twisties.
flash necessary to richen up a lean air-cooled motor.

You got your money's worth out of that tire.
 
yes, so much that I had to leave it in north Georgia at my buddies place. every 30 miles it got worse. best decision park it. Neil a cogger suggested pirelli angels gt type A
