Greetings, ladies & gents!
I just to approved to join, so thank you.....thankyouverymuch.
Long story short: I was a sport bike guy (FZ-600, FZ-1, R-6S) until I found H-D V-Rod's. Got a Street Rod and loved it so much that my R6-S gathered dust and was eventually sold. Had to have a spinal fusion (bad day) and coupled with a souvenir from the Iraq/Afghanistan wars (pretty much destroyed shoulder) I had to sell the Street Rod and ended up on a V-Rod Muscle due to the somewhat "kinder" riding position.
I like to wrench on my toys, and am at the point of not having much to do on either my or my wife's bike. And, since I live in Colorado and a bunch of my friends have ADV bikes......
..... well, here I am. I've been doing a fair bit of research, and keep coming back to the Super 10-- in fact I have a test ride scheduled in the next few days.
Because I'm a fairly technical and list-driven person I've done research up the wazoo and already have a list of what I'd like to do to the bike.
Sadly (and I'm *really* "Grr!" on this part-- I missed out on the Deal of the Century by TenereHawk-- he sold his bike the day I started looking..... after it being for sale for five weeks!)
There's no justice in the world, but that gives you a pretty good idea of my luck!
I'm looking for a new-old-stock or low mileage red 2015 ES, but the dealers around here pretty much want to sell them for almost what a new '16 is, so that's out. since I've got a perfectly good bike, I'm going to be (reasonably) patient and wait until I find "my" bike.
So, if anyone knows were one of those are languishing at their local dealer, please do let me know! I'm a pilot, so flying out to a bike isn't a biggie, and I also have a Kendon trailer and it really should be used more!
Other than that, happy to be here, proud to serve!
Cheers!
