You couldn't wipe the smile off my face when the guy was unloading it off the trailer.

Bike looks great. Glad to hear you are on your way to getting back in the saddle again.

I think it's the same color as the one you had before. I would like to make a friendly suggestion. Don't make it into a clone of what you just crashed. Do something different to make it readily apparent that it is distinctive, especially visually.

Color is close to the same. '16 is a shade or two brighter/redder. I thought of doing something different. I thought about different exhaust but I like the Big Radius I had on the other one. I'll see how it goes.

Congrats on the new bike. Always good to see a fellow rider get back in the saddle.
