It's here!!! I put a deposit on this puppy last October, it came in last Wednesday, put together Friday moring, of course I had to work and we got 7 inches of the white death that evening. Worked Sat, Sun and Mon. Finally got a slight break in the weather today so I got my snowmobile suit on (it's still 44 degrees here) under my leathers and went and got it.

Yes I know it's dirty, note the white crap and puddles all around, the roads were the same way. Yes, I know there's chicken strips (see note on puddles and white stuff), yes, I know there are reflectors, fenders, brackets, labels, turn signals, rim stripes, stock parts all over. It'll be taken care of soon, thanks for noticing. :secret:

I would've trailered her home and saved it from the salt/sand that gets put down. Looks like a bunch of peeps going to the convention gettin' new bikes. :cool:

Thank guys, appreciate it :)

Took the dog for a ride right after I took the pic, didn't have anyone to snap the shot though. Mods will be coming soon, maybe not as many as picwh... I mean Brian but definately coming. As for the wheel stripes, I don't how yet, but I'll figure out something.

Supposed to be 60 here Friday, and I'm off :riding

Yep, the nice weather for us northerners is finally coming. Supposed to be around 55 F here tomorrow---I'm on a long stretch of nights, but will set the alarm to get up early to get out and ride...

Christ, I've only got 40 miles on mine, from 3 short and very cold rides.
