I went yesterday and picked up the bike. Didos to all who are in love with the machine. Staying under 80 mph is a chore. Took back roads home just to try and keep the speed down. Have ordered the chopped tour pak, D-D performance exhaust, race tuner, 8" windshield, vents and such. All loose parts are coming and some have arrived and will post pictures as the changes are made.
Had a comical conversation with the wife when she first saw it. She has never liked the Bat Wing fairings on the glides, I however have loved them. She briefly looked at the bikes in literature and said whatever. Yesterday she dropped me off to pick it up and ride it home. She took one look and said, "That's a lot of orange, I have that sick feeling in my stomach, like when you first hold your child after child birth and you think he may be ugly!" We laughed most of the way home about it, by the time we arrived it was starting to grow on her. Just like the kids!
Yesterday the ride home was about 60 miles, 20 of it in the 40's and raining. Better than today, thirty's and chance of snow. However, it's just nice to have the bike home. Did ride to work today. It's everything I thought it would be and more! Hopefully this will work, I have posted all the photos at
