Hey all,

I ordered my Raven SuperT back on September 29th from the Yamaha dealer in Holland, Michigan. I was wondering if there are any other SuperT owners (soon to be) or enthusiasts in the area (greater Grand Rapids/ West Michigan)?

Since I've placed the order the fun has begun -- time to sell 3 to get the one! So far I've sold my SV but still have the Concours and Sportster to get out of the shop.

Alright now, how long til May???

Right on! I wonder how many of these will be in the northern part of the US? Most of the orders seem to be down south.

I am surprised to see any orders from Michigan with how bad the economy is!!! Am I wrong?
Good to see you are here!! Enjoy the roads up north!! My parents live near Traverse City, just east 25 miles!! I really like northern MI!!!

Michigan is nice. I've been riding in the UP every summer for the past 4 years, it's great up there! Traverse City and area is beautiful. I was hoping to get up there for a fall colour tour but I think it's too late now.

The economy is slower here but I'm doing fine (luckily). I also have a different perspective as I moved here from Toronto, Canada 8 years ago for work. I couldn't believe the low cost of bikes and insurance (Ontario is VERY expensive for bike insurance). I've had anywhere from 1 to 5 bikes in the garage depending on the year. The SuperT smacked me upside the head though and straightened me out. I'm selling the three I have to get the SuperT. I figure I'll save on insurance, maintenance and required mods (ya right, it sounds good though eh?).

So, if anyone is looking for another bike (sport-touring - 1997 Concours, or a fun run around - 1993 Sportster 1250 bob-ish) please let me know!

Ya, I know about that. I was hoping to get a local chat going.

If the numbers get up there maybe they could set up sub-forums for locations (example - sport-touring.net has the US split into 6 regions). This is great for local chatter as well as photo-tag games.
