    From the number of spokes I'd be tempted to guess that they were replaced.

    Very observant. Still looks like something was done to 'em.

    Re: RIDES IN NY

    Hey Randy,

    Congrats on the new purchase. Im also a new owner of a bird, well make that my second bird. I just picked it up a few weeks ago. The weather is staring to look nice in NY. I have seen a few bikes out but still too risky for me. I'll be sure to be out this spring. I plan on doing a lot of rides. I will keep you posted.

    -Kyle

    Re: RIDES IN NY

    Welcome to the Brotherhood of Blackbird Pilots

    I am sure as hell you will enjoy the Bird and this site. I am also in NY just a little bit further south of you in Hudson Valley. Are you new to motorcycles or just new to the Bird? There is lots of great events all summer long. Americade is great, Laconia, well you have to go to know.These two events happen in June, look them up.

    Enjoy the bird !!! Plenty of info here on the site just ask and you will get an answer.

    Re: RIDES IN NY

    Welcome from the windy city. Use the MAP feature in the members section to find other bird riders in your area. There is also a section here in one of the forums where people post up about rides in different areas.
