Oh good grief...I joined the ranks of the "I hope this bike is as good as I've been led to believe" earlier today. My name is Jim and I too am anxious for May to arrive. I ordered mine in Blue. The dealer says that I am the 2nd one on the list at his shop. I am currently riding a 2008 Concours 1400 (and keep asking myself if I have done the right thing). I've been riding for 52 years, with a mix of street bikes and dirt bikes, and have occasionally owned both types at the same time.
