That's my plan and I am sticking to it. Most likely they will take my car I and I will be driving Big Gulp.

Pics from a relaxing after work ride yesterday.

When I ride the Wing or the Ducati on this road I'm rocking at very high speeds. With the RE I'm at 50 and happy. This bike is going to halp save my license and my life! LOL!

Over 900 miles so far. Off to a good start. Bike runs great. It's so pretty I almost can't stand it.

Last fill up 69.3 MPG.

That is a pretty motorcycle.

The early evening sunlight produces beautiful photographs.

FD,
Nice photos. You putting the miles on her.

katoranger · 05-31-2014, 10:52 AM

Fun to ride and great mileage. Sounds like your new commuter.

Mrs. Weldangrind thinks it's a nice vintage bike. She was surprised to find out that it's brand new, and quite shocked to learn the price.

FastDoc · 05-31-2014, 02:27 PM

Tell Mrs. W&G they still have another. Same model but black and cream and chrome. I think it may be $100 less at $4,800.

FastDoc · 06-01-2014, 12:48 AM

Turned 1,000 miles today. Nothing in Spud terms but not bad for 1 week. It's a good motorcycle.

Monte enjoying the bike at the airport. His Beechcraft is in the hanger.

The winter wheat crop will be ready for harvest soon. Poor season for the farmers. Not enough moisture over the winter and basically none in the spring. Looks pretty though.

SpudRider · 06-01-2014, 01:44 AM

Does the dealer sell parts? Can you order RE parts online?

FastDoc · 06-01-2014, 02:15 AM

I can get factory parts online or through the dealer. If I have any warranty issues short of a catastrophe ill get the parts from the dealer/factory and fix it myself. If its a major issue God forbid Ill take it to the dealer outside of Yakima. Closer but still about 85 miles away.

SpudRider · 06-01-2014, 02:47 AM

That's great.

That speedo reminds me of the one in my 52 Chevy. That bike is a beauty.

Barnone · 06-01-2014, 11:53 AM

Good report. Keep us up to date with your RE experience. Thanks
