1. Yay!
Indulge me and tell me about your protective gear. You're one of those guys I don't wanna see splattered.

You know, today. :D

3. Ballistic nylon over-pants
with full-length side zippers. easy on / off. For safety, and might keep you drier when you hit a rainstorm. They'll be warmer, too, if you ride in cool weather.

Maybe even a one-piece full rainsuit.

It looks like a nice motorcycle.

:hi:

4. ooo got those for rain-gear!
:D

never thought about wearing them full time though. :think:

it is GORGEOUS!!

VERY comfy seat and position too!

I might not make it out of the neighborhood for a week though :P

floorboards and a heel-shifter might take some getting used to :shrug:

5. Congratulations!
Feels great doesn't it?

There's just nothing in the world sweeter than getting on your new bike for the first ride and you're gonna get to do it on a beautiful bike.

Congratulations!
