Congrats! I got lucky. I live in South Dakota and have ridden mine twice. 50 miles total. I think thats worse than not riding at all because now I know what I'm missing.	gbrown OFFLINE Expert Max Posts: 652 Thank you received: 136

Congrats Scoop! Enjoy your new bike! It's nice to see the bikes are working their way east. I think the trucks they're on should get police escorts to expedite their travel so pending owners don't have to be raked over the coals. Damn it where's mine! The suspense is like nothing I've experienced before. Hook us waiting saps up with some vids!	Cape Vmax OFFLINE Fresh Max Posts: 37 Thank you received: 1

Just an update took delivery 12-9-08 I got to help with assembly

Then I did it threw my leg over the seat turned the key and pushed the button what a feeling, 6 months of waiting, all the anticipation ,watching the videos, reading all descriptions from other people and just plain waiting came to a head, it still makes the hair on the back of my neck stand on end.Every one in the shop was there see and hear it what a day one I know I won't soon forget. Seeing it was only 40 degrees outside and raining I put in an enclosed trailer and brought it home now the fun starts there was still 6in of snow on the ground I backed it out of the trailer by myself no problem fired it up and headed for the basement I walked along side and just fanned the clutch, I started having a flash back to my flat track and ice racing days but no worries made it to the basement door and inside it went for its long winters rest. I just wish I would have got a picture of the 15ft rooster tail it was throwing getting it there. Look out come spring time they say bears are their most dangerous after a long hibernation

Hi Scoop. Enjoy what you have (and you do by the looks of it). Many still have zilch.
You can pamper it, inspect it thoroughly, dream about all kinds of modifications, etc. That's a joy too, you know.
We can't ride it either, because, either it rains and storms like hell or it's quiet weather, but with frost which means all the roads are covered with salt. And I'm not gonna ride my baby through that mess!
