2 Arctic Whites heading to Cedar Rapids
Just got the call from the trucking company, delivery set for 10-12 tomorrow. Can't wait to get unpacked and fired up.
The second one is for a friend of mine, we kind of coersed each other into the purchase  I'll let you know how everything goes....had to re-arrange the bikes in the garage last night to make sure there is room

Congratulations and welcome to the forums...lol. Make sure you top off the blinker fluid and adjust the muffler belt before the first ride.
See you tomorrow to uncrate the new bikes...

No metal in the crates, and no damage to the bikes or crates either. Driver actually wanted to stick around and see the bikes uncrated as he has five motorcycles himself and was very curious about these. before he left he made sure he had CSC Information so he could potentially buy one for himself...lol
Ive only got 35 miles or so on mine so far. Its gonna take awhile to get mine fully broken in as I have a few other bikes(see sig) to ride too. First impression was that these are very nice machines, and the fit and finish far exceeded my expectations. Engine sounded tight when it was first started, however I can already feel it loosening up a bit and running well.

85 so far....have to work at it to find roads where 50 MPH top speed is OK. Luckily some gravel + backroads not far from here. Thinking oil change as soon as I break 200 miles and consider it broken in, on goes the 13 tooth, no RPM limits....then on to the 500 mile service.
Was luke warm on it yesterday because I didn't know what to expect. Like it way more today....it's just me getting used to this bikes role....quite a riding shift coming off the big bikes. I'll be honest....really starting to enjoy it. It's a very smooth riding bike, good transmission (minus the neutral thing), handles well Really looking forward to riding this baby.

Reminds me of the day I got mine. It was a few days after Thanksgiving. I remember thinking I couldn't wait till it was over so I could get my bike. Since then I've loved every mile. Don't get caught up in all the negativity going around lately. Use the bike for it's intended purpose, and that's putting huge smiles on your faces. Great choice of bike and can't wait to see pictures of your adventures.

No worries about nagativity....I don't need anyone's approval for what I ride. If I did, I spose I'd ride a hardly or BMW
 Enjoying it so far, wish the break-in RPM at least allowed 55 MPH....LOL
