The coolest thing is that you live in Florida.
I am done riding for another 3 months.
Winters suck more every year.

Today was the first day I rode in a week.
I had no real intention of getting a new bike, but 2 weeks ago I walked into the dealership and, well, today was the end result of it. Now me and the Wife can go out riding.

Congrats. I didn't think I'd ever learn what those buttons did on my EG. It didn't take long.

The FatBob was the first motorcycle I had ever owned. Enjoyed it alot. Got it as a retirement gift to myself when I retired from the Navy earlier this year.
Guess it's gonna take me some time to get comfortable with this new one. Wish I had gotten one like this from the beginning like many people tried to tell me. But I didn't really know what I was getting myself into, nor how obsessive it would be. Now I wish I had started riding sooner.
