Thanks, men! I'm really looking forward to seeing it. I'm a little bummed that I can't take it home tomorrow, but after waiting this long, I guess I can wait a few more days.

The color doesn't matter but you made a great choice on model. I've had a sporty, an FXR, a DYNA, 2 RKs and you just can't beat the touring bikes....IMO. Some say they aren't as nimble but I think they handle as good or better. Enjoy it...sorry you have to wait but it'll be here soon.

Congrats!! You'll love the ride and handling with the IDS. I sure do! It seems like you're riding in the bike as opposed to riding on it. The ride-by-wire hasn't given me any trouble>>I don't have ABS>>but the new Brembo brakes while a bit noisy>>work great.

Congrats! I feel ur pain man, my RK classic (also blue, a slightly different shade, but blue none the less) is sitting at the dealership as well awaiting parts. When I heard that the temp was going to shoot up from -15 to low 50's I was on the horn to the dealer, but alas, the parts are still back ordered....... I chose to go NON ABS. Brembro's are excellent!
