Not so much a fan of the red bodywork on the blue frame. I thought you had an 09, clearly I was mistaken!

I love it. I'm pretty unique in my taste tho.
Looks different in different light as well.

Here is a diff angle...

Great to hear you got your toy back. How's your shoulder doing, though? Still healing all right?

Nice, brother.

You kidding me... there is no color that will make the 1125 anything but YUM YUM YUM

I go back to the ortho to see if it is healed enough to get the clavicle plate removed, if so probably 2nd or 3rd week in April I will have surgery fo the last time. I have gotten alot of strength back in it, the plate just pulls against my muscles and limits range of motion...

I was wondering this too, but read your reply already.

Damn. This sounds similar to Erik's crash when he broke his collar bone back in 07... though he was doing 100+ racing. He didn't require surgery and have a very small lump. Very lucky IMO.

Hell it was all good. I got it out of the ditch and rode it 25 miles to the next town...

Seems like if the bike is ridable then the rider is not. And if the rider is good, the bike isn't.
