      Yes Greg no doubt on the rain! Enough already!! Oh well as we always say..."at least we don't have to shovel it". My bike should be here next week sometime and they will call me so I can be at the dealer when they un-crate it.

        How much of a test ride did you get? Couple days?

          Lol....I said I would never buy a new bike without a test ride. Well apparently I would. I did sit on an older one that is owned by a friend of a friend. I have done as much research as I could without actually riding one.
          I know, I know,,,please don't beat me up too much.

          If it makes any difference I bought my 83 1100e without riding it. No?

            I know but we really do need the rain.Been so dry the last few months if we don't get more we'll be sorry come summer.Was there for the uncrate of the SV in 06.

              This part is true. I went into a Suzuki dealership to buy a slightly used weestrom. No test rides, and he actually laughed at me for wanting one. He actually implied that I couldn't get the loan anyway, not sure why. Off to the BMW dealer, test rode a two year old F800GS, paid cash and bought it that day, wheelied past the Suzuki shop on the way home. Enjoyed that so much I went around the block and did it again. After riding both bikes quite a bit, the F8GS is far superior to the Wee, faster, lighter, far better off road, but I would have never known this if the Suzuki place would have treated me right.
              Thats a cool modern Rotax twin in that. I think its a nice motor. A managably sized bike too. The big GS unreasonably large and heavy in my opinion, for an all terrain bike.

              I love the 800 Triumph, but I know the BMW is better.

                I guess you'll have to go to Action and pick up some appropriate gear for riding around here!

                  That's what I was thinking when I bought it, after a couple years I still think so.
                  Certainly don't want anything heavier.

                  If I were to do it again I'd get the KTM.

                      Haha...Well the bike won't be here until at least the end of next week. So I hope it will stop raining by then. Really dont want my first ride to be coming home in the rain.

                      although the last new bike I bought was 30 years ago in Ontario, in March and it started to snow on the way home from the dealer. Gotta say that's not likely to happen to me again.

                            Reminds me of Bender around the headlight. I'm certain that it is a great bike with plenty of pickup for passing.

                                Before you bought that model had you considered this one? I believe that it cost/weighs less and is available in this color...
