To the OP,, Nice bike, I have Amber Whiskey on my 15, if I was to get a M8 I'd get that color for sure!

I just traded in my old SG for the same bike, different color though... The 107" is unbelievable, almost as big of difference from a shovel to an EVO

That is for certain! Sun was going down by the time I got it home to take some pics. Looks phenomenal in the light.

Really elderly? What, was he like 60? Only kidding. I saw a guy on a Gold Wing. Must have been in his 80's, Going very slow..... but still riding. Good for him.
To the OP: Congrats! It's amazing what some colors do with a little sunshine.
