You only live once.......and life is short. It might cure the not-riding-much syndrome you've been inflicted with. Nothing like a new bike to rekindle the love of riding.

I know, right?

Wife's disinterested comment upon seeing the listing: "Pretty. It looks nice. Why don't you get it?" I make a 'BMW' electronics comment (which she's quite familiar with), and she suddenly perks up, "It's a BMW?!?! You'd have a lot of crow to eat, mister! Shall I serve it cold?!"
:eek::

I just spent over $19k for self canceling turn signals and a different shade of blue.

My wife is scheming what kind of crow dish I have to eat.

Anyone care to pass me some Grey Poupon? :eat1:

Nice find John. May you rack up lots of enjoyable miles with it. I wasn't going to read through the whole thread so I'll just ask instead, did you get a chance to ride one before you bought it?

Spring will seem like its an eternity away for you now...

I rode one years ago Scooter, but not the current wethead (I don't like the rigmarole at dealers, so I generally stay away and also don't try for test rides). I've got about 130 miles on it .... I'm surprised at how zippy it is, how much easier to maneuver and put on centerstand, and how much tech stuff is included (at a cost of course).
