New Bike In!
« on: September 01, 2005, 08:39:33 AM »

Well, got the call from sales lady yesterday morning...my baby was in. She was out for a few days with a sick kid and when she got back the bike was together and on the floor.
She new I wanted pics of the bike in crate. Oh well.

First impressions:
The bike really did look better in person! I know everyone had said that but I wasnt sure how I was going to react...wow!...I couldnt be happier with my choice. In fact the bike stood out...It was the only green anything in the whole store. My daughter and wife went with me and both loved the bike. They both had to get on it with me, just for fit and feel. This was hard as I still have broken foot and cast, but we managed. The bike fit me very well. Backrest will need a little adjusting. The toupak blended real well with the bike...that one had me worried. The stereo is a major plus! Both wife and daughter liked the lumbar supported backrest...said very comfortable. I will be going over this morning to order goodies to be added. Fatcats on the way from the group buy. Going to get 440 shocks,pc3/usb,intake,roadpegs,extra lights for rear,extra windshield 12",headset, and oil temp dipstick. Might have work finished and home by the following weekend. I am probably one of the few arent in a big hurray as I cant ride until foot heels. If I dont need surgery on foot in two weeks then I should be riding by the end of Sept. I cant wait to be able to ride though. Anyhow my overall impression is that I am very happy with the color and look of the bike.


Pics to follow.

Very nice indeed.  I thought just waiting on a bike was tough , but to have it and not be able to ride it is cruel.  Good luck!  [smiley=xyxthumbs.gif]

Barry,

Looks awesome congrats.   You know if your foot doesnt heal you can always bring it down my way and ride a bit later in the season.   I look forward to seeing it with all your wish list items installed.

I think though we need to change your name to the flying melon.

Heal fast and talk to you soon :) [smiley=beerchug.gif]

Actually Twolane I am not sure I could spend so much time breaking it in for him I will be picking up my road king body for the hallowed motor this weekend.   I guess then its no longer hallowed ? or is it still hallowed /shrug  hehe

The Motor just needs the valves adjusted and the rockerboxes put on and its ready for installation.  I picked up the Zippers throttle body today and dropped off the Rocker boxes and rockers.

".  So what are you going to make out of it?  Will she be a stripped down touring bike around a big motor or will you go ahead and doll it up some?''


My vote is,

stripped down touring bike around a big motor!


Wonder why? [smiley=laugh.gif]

It's only NOT stock if you add tassels!


Everything else is just fluff!

And remember Fluff can be removed in the hills of NC! [smiley=laugh.gif]
