    Fellow riders,

    I'm pleased to say that an eight-month process that included conversations with about a dozen sellers has come to a desirable conclusion:

    I'm a veteran rider and the 500 has been on my bucket list since its introduction. My initial test rides haven't disappointed - the bike is capable of some grin-inducing scoot.

    Two other veteran riders made the purchase enjoyable: the seller - a die-hard motorcycle & auto-sport enthusiast and the shipper, Russ Krist. Russ operates out of St. Louis, has a 5-star uShip rating and can be contacted via gmail at: russkrist63.

    I'd also like to thank Joe Nelson at V4Dreams.com for his helpful replies to my overabundance of questions and also everyone here that has contributed their time with informative responses and videos.
