Break it in right from the begining. Heck, we are apt to get an afternoon shower daily in SC. Can't let that stop the fun.

BTW, congrats on the new bike. I can't wait to hear some reviews on the rear suspension. I hope it's better than my 09.

I don't mind getting wet if I'm already riding,but just can't bring myself to start out in it on a new bike with 4 miles on it.

We've had so much rain here in Missouri that if you're wanna ride you're gonna get wet. If you're short on water come up here and bring some jugs and buckets. We've got plenty to spare.

Yea...I picked mine up in Daytona...an hour away...sunny as hell then all of a sudden it turned black and dumped 2" of rain in 2 hours. All I had was a pair of sunglasses and 2 free harley shirts.
