Well I guess mine is still cherry. Picked it up back on Monday and have only gotten a couple chances to ride this week. That will change this weekend though.

I know that it can feel like a bummer when you get your first scratch, but that's part of life. Now your bike is starting to develop character. It's happened to most of us if not all of us, join the club.

Actually that was the bike I had on order first, but my eyes kept drifting back to the Deluxe. I was a little worried about my experience level and the size of the bike too.....Think I'll wait a while on that trade-in.
