FNG intro

[tuck]

Well it all started last September, when I found a 2003 XB9S on craigslist. The day I went to test ride it, I knew it was love at first sight. So papers were signed, money exchanged hands, and I brought home this:

It has the racing exhaust and ECU, as well as the low cg suspension kit.

It's my first "real" motorcycle, and is a welcome addition to my other two addictions (jeeps and guns).
I have been browsing the site a bit, and like what I'm seeing so far, and am anxious to learn more.

u are lucky to have the ecm and exhaust. i have the same and absolutely love the feel and sound of the bike.

did you paint it? not too crazy about the green or the seat rails, but a great bike nonetheless.

here's mine...

The PO painted it. I wasn't too sure about the green at first, but its grown on me, and is definitely unique. Its Arctic Cat green FYI.

 

[303xb]

cool. well great bike nonetheless and again, the race ECM and exhaust are incredible in my opinion.

Also, where is that pic taken? What a gorgeous ride.

303xb- Cool Mosin, M44's are my favorite. I took the pics today, I was riding along the shore of Lake Michigan in Manitowoc, WI.

1stxb9r- I live in the peoples republik of wisconsin, so concealed carry isn't something I can do. If I could though, I would carry my Sig P6. Long range precision rifles are more my thing.

Kickass bike, that green really stands out. I see there are some other Mosin Nagant fans here. I have a 91/30 myself, fun and cheap to boot. My favorite though is my Springfield 1911.

 

[303xb]

th m44 is cheap as hell, the ammo is 1.25 a shot. ridiculous.

 

[1stxb9r]

reload, reload, reload, took some time for me to learn about all the little details but worth it when I can reload 50 rounds for my .357 for about .05 a bullet!!

Tuck- Wisconsin doesn't have right to carry? WTF I thought that was the mid-west too!! (i'm from (Indiana)

 

[onelogue]

Yeah the green will help us remember you in the future! [cool]

 

[gear2078]

You guys are paying too much for Mosin ammo, I paid 14 cents a round for my first can and 17 cents a round for my second- all boat tailed armor piercing. The cylindrical powder grains pack one hell of a punch too!

Oh, love the green! [up]

 

[303xb]

where are you buying it?
