Looks nice but that thingy on the front disc brake is junk. You can't ride with that! Take it off and let the wheels turn! :D

The melting snow sends little riverlets across the road at spots and this morning it was below freezing so I had to be careful. It is now 37F so they should most all be liquid again so I'm heading out again.

Congratulations on the new ride. A tip for removing all those stickers, get your hands on a hair dryer heat the sticker up and it will peal off with no effort.

Sharp!!

Ahem, don't forget about the disk lock.
I’m not afraid to go fast – it’s the crashing and burning that scares me.

Actually, I'm too cheap to go too fast. Have you seen the price of gas lately?

It's SO time for another long road trip!!!

What is the button? for directly on the left hand side of the keyswitch?

Also, would you please take a picture of the new dash with all it's idiot lights illuminated?
Thanks.

Damn! I love the color. What a lovely machine! Mine was black...not bad but not as pretty as yours. You'll be cruising and looking good this year.
Enjoy! I'm "gray" with envy.

On the end of the ignition key is a small magnet, you place the magnet over that hole and it turns a plate which covers the ignition hole to stop people tampering with it.

Johnp, nice looking ride, congrads. About the white being faster, of course they are, I have a used one on the truck I bought from a guy on here. Coming from Washington state to southwest Florida. Hopefully be here this week some time. I'd love to have a new one but being old and retired I have to watch my pennies.
