Congratulations!!!! She is a beauty. Now you can start buying her pretty things; kinda like buying a hot woman lingerie. And just like lingerie, it makes her feel better about herself and the entire experience better for you.

...and just like lingerie, you ask the same questions - will it fit? will it be comfortable? will it look good?

I see a "mudsling" on there already! I am putting one on my bike as soon as the
muffler cools in the garage from the ride home.
Tried to "fit" it right after I parked..... gave up after the first OWWWW! *&^($!!@*&^$%@![/b]

Just got back from my first ride....Headed west towards Hadrians Wall in Northumberland then cut up North to Kielder via Chollerford. Temperature varied between 8- 12 degrees C so I had a couple of stops for cups of hot tea to thaw out a bit. This bike is a contender for one of the best bikes I've ever ridden...I took it relatively easy until I got around 100 miles covered so that the tyres were scrubbed in and obviously to do some of the running in of the engine etc.
Turbine smooth and the gear changes were so smooth and seamless....I think I'm in love

I'm itching to pick mine up next month. It'll probably be raining for a week when I do....
Keep those ride reports coming.

It'll get even better after 1000 or 2000 km on the clocks!
