    Took my 2008 ABS model on the first ride today after getting it home from the dealership! The OAT on the ride home from the dealership was 25F and my hands froze!! Today in Denver the OAT was 55F and I got a good ride in down to Monument Colorado (190 miles) and it rode great. I absoulutely love it. I do see a Sargent seat, hard bags, and staintune in my future :thumbsup:

    Welcome, froze my ass off yesterday as well. I don't think it ever got as warm as that lying b!tch Kathy Saban said it was going to be.

    Anyway, congrats on your ride. anytime you're up for a ride let someone know on the Colorado riders out there thread in rocky mountain local rider section of vfrworld.

    Ride safe!

    If you think you like it now, just wait until it's broken in. Congratulations on your new ride.
