See you on the road,

That's a long time to wait! Where ever you are, be safe so you get to enjoy her and the bike when you get home. Congrats!!!

Don't let the peer pressure cause you to ride outside of your limits and abilities. You don't need to keep up in the twisties and such. Your going to be on one of the coolest bikes out there. Enjoy your own ride and pace.
