First RIDE!!!!!!
Well, I just couldn't wait until after work, so I got a buddy of mine to drive me to the dealer to pick up my new Night Train!!!!! [sm=happybounce.gif] (I won't do a smiley overload this time, heheh)
I rode her back here, to work, about a 15Km ride.... what a tease!! Surprisingly, the seating position isn't bad! I think it would likely get uncomfortable on a long ride, but for puttin' around town, it's just fine! It started raining as I pulled into the parking garage, and now it's pouring out, and it's supposed to rain for the rest of the day, but I don't care. I have rain gear, and when I'm done here, I'm going RIDING!!! [sm=happy046.gif]
I have to take it easy while the engine breaks in, but man she wants to GO! Every time I touched the throttle, I had to conciously hold back, hehehe... The SE2s sound AWESOME... very "Harley"!
Exactly what I was after.
All around, I am on cloud 9, and I can't wait to put some SERIOUS miles on her!!! [sm=happy046.gif]
I'll post some pics later when I get home.
Oh yeah, the NXT lid is great. SO light I didn't even notice I was wearing it after a little while. I'm going to have to adjust the arms on the Panoptx glasses because they push out a little from my face allowing wind into my eyes which caused them to water... can't have that on the highway! Once I do that, they will be great as well.
Cheers!

RE: First RIDE!!!!!!
Whew, finally got that ride. Better be sick on Thursday and Friday as the weather report for your area of the world is gonna be rain then more rain. At least you got no snow in the forcast. I feel your excitement, so get it in the wind. Remember to keep the shiny side up and the rubber side down.
