Default Say Hello To My New Ride!!
I've put just about 1,000 miles on it, since I bought it about a month ago..........I'm updating this Thread because it said I removed the video, but I didn't.

Here's the link:

Rick58: I have to say, the ride home from the Dealership was an eye opener!!
Right hand grip signal for a right turn; ballsy horn; VERY touchy Clutch; solid as a rock underneath me; plenty of get-up-n-go (1600cc?????); Lower I think, than my Shadow seat; no spokes or chain to adjust; no Choke or Fuel Valve; keyless entry; Gas Gauge!!

Nice ride. I can see about $10K in mods that I'd do (and did do) to my 02 Softail. Have fun on it!

I'm happy the wife didn't shoot me down when I called her from the Dealership to tell her I was looking, and wanted her blessing. I don't think I'll push the $10K in Accessorizing right now.

I DID notice a big difference without a windshield though. Noise and wind!
