It's HERE!

So fantastic news for me. Bike showed up today around 11am and the crate was in perfect condition. The driver was cool and asked me to open it up and make sure everything was in good shape before I signed for the package. It was. I got it unpacked, inspected more closely, put on the mirrors, wind screen, top box and upgraded front brake pad. Scared myself as I rolled it off the pallet as at the mid-point my feet didn't reach the ground...steady!!! It fired right up, did a couple of laps around my neighborhood to kick start my 25 year old neurons about moto's. I then rolled up to the gas station, filled it up and then rolled back home to put in some injector cleaner/lube and then headed out for a nice day of 100 miles at sub-5000RPMs. Man, the bike is easy to ride. Front brakes are breaking in nicely. Currently having a hard time finding neutral unless I give it a bit of gas and then it will drop in fine. I'm going to do another hundy tomorrow so I can spend the rainy weekend changing the oil and doing all the other farkle adds.
