Well, after lusting for this bike for awhile and recently selling my 03 ST1100P, I knew it was time to get one. Found a couple of them, one in Austin and one in north Dallas. Looked at the one in north Dallas first as it was the Adventure model. Was able to take it out for a short spin and WOW, blow me away. So made the deal from Joe Speed Motorsports on Thursday and went back up yesterday to pick it up. On the way up is was raining like crazy on the south side of Ft Worth and Carole asked if I wanted to wait til Saturday to go. Further up north it looked clear so we continued on. It did clear up a few miles later and was clear all the way to north Dallas. Signed all the paper work and headed toward home. Coming across the 820 it was starting to get dark and I knew I was in for it. Yup, just as I was getting close to I-35W it let loose. I finally stopped and put on my rain jacket and continued on. Got back on south side of Ft Worth and it had quit.
So know it's home in the garage and I was really impressed with the ride home. Plenty of zip and quite smooth. Need to get to know it a little more but I feel it's gonna be a good replacement for the ST.
Still have the Wing and Lees-ure Lite camping trailer and will use those on my longer trips but this Wee will do just fine for around the area.
