I am getting this bike because of what is on it and comes off it and I'm Blessed to be able to afford it! I ride because I love to! Not because I want to be seen or relish by others. When I ride I feel like a dog being let off his chain! The smell, the feel of the wind, the rumble of that motor, the indescribable enjoyment I feel is Awesome! Then the camaderie with your fellow brothers, priceless!
JR, just think, you're this pumped up over your SEEG and you don't even have it yet! Just wait until that first ride. You will not be dissappointed - the first impressions are long and lasting. I'm still as head-over-heals in love [smiley=smitten.gif] with my SEEG as when I got it 14 mos. ago. But that's because I bought the bike for what it is: a beautiful, highly-optioned and customized touring bike with a
STROKER MOTOR (oh, yeah!!!), not what it is not: a super-rare, I got one but you don't (na, na, na, na, na-na), profiling, ego-boosting investment in my kid's college education.
Heavy, JR makes some great points about the metropolitan area you live in. I mean, they made in excess of 1,500 of the '04 SEEGs in the B/B combination and with the saturation of dealerships and population in your immediate area you're bound to run into a few. Instead of being turned off by it, perhaps try treating it as if you would seeing other SEEGs at any number of motorcycle events you might attend and introduce yourself to them and this great site! That way, you meet some new riding buddies (I can tell you from experience in the Smokies last fall that nothing, and I mean
NOTHING looks cooler than a train of SEEGs winding through your favorite roads)and hopefully do them a favor, too, by letting them know of this resource.
