Alrighty!
I just purchased a bike... in Phoenix, AZ.
Flying up there next weekend to pick it up. Unless I can find someone to let me slap 2000 miles on their pickup. I'd much rather toss it in the back of a truck and drive the truck back. 1000 miles on a crotch rocket doesn't sound like my idea of fun.
Brand spankin' new 2007, black/black. $9700 out the door. 1 mile on the clock. Its a done deal.
Yeah, I've been reading various guides. Still trying to figure out if I want to slap 1000 miles on it right off. Not a mileage thing, but we're talking 500 miles a day for the first two days of its life. Not sure if that will be a good or bad thing for the motor. Still reading..
Well, I know I am out of my experience level with this bike, hell, right on the edge of my comfort zone, but I've worked my way up over the years.
But I realize that "playing" with it is an easy way to get killed, so having that in mind should give me some sort of safety net. Until some drunk blind sides me with his dually.
Cannot stress this enough.Did you try the helmet on? if not, cancel the order and go to a local shop and try helmets on.
I didn't, but I can send it back for another size or a different helmet all together. I already have two cruiser helmets I can wear until I find the right "sport" helmet, So Its not like I'll be without a helmet.
I'm just going to look goofy as hell with a 1/2 chopper helm or a 3/4 with a face shield and harley badges.
