I will chime in my new Slim was PDI'd today and there was a message on the phone from the dealership when I got home asking if I could call them with the insurance policy number so they can get it licenced and ready for pick up Friday or Saturday depending on the weather! So I'm pretty excited about that!!!

I just requested input on performance upgrades. As long as we don't get these guys worried about who is and who ain't a "real rider" we'll be ok. I'd rather have the silence that read that ****.

Yeah, let's talk about bikes.

You'll like the shotgun. Its def. one of my better mods. No rush though, Im with you on the saving up for it part. weather is getting nice out. can't wait for Laconia bro.
Ya getting ready for Laconia. We'll have to hook up. Hotel is booked for the last weekend thurs/Friday/sat/sun
