Hey All

I went to get my ViVi yesterday and already have the first 190Kms (118.06 miles), which is just the ride home. I actually was not supposed to pick it up until next week, however a look at the long range weather forecast and my long range schedule, I thought I'd better go get it while the getting was good. As it turned out, it was a bit chilly (so I got to try the heating system), but otherwise a beautiful sunny day.....of course with the vision its alway warm and sunny in my world....Ha Ha!

There is one issue that has not been resolved yet, when they installed the reverse kit they put the bike in gear while the reverse was engaged and broke something, so I will have to wait for them to order a new one and I will get it installed when I go back for my 1000Km check, hopefully the second week of May.

Anyway, I have a few pics that I will post when I get them downloaded.

I now finally get it about what people have been saying about how this bike is an attention get'er. I was stopped numerous times yesterday.

One last question, what are people using to loosen their face muscles? Mine are getting sore from the perma-grin that I have had since yesterday........Ha Ha!! 

Take Care All

Enjoy the the Ride Brother... I love to park mine where people can easily see it and sit back and watch their reactions for a short distance away..

Congrats Gercia!

If you figure out how to get the smile off your face let me know.

I think it might require surgery.

Ride safe.

Gerica, you will be amazed at the weather you will get out in now.  Your cold tolerance will drop 20 degrees, easy.

Only one way to get rid of the perma-grin; change bikes.

Welcome.

Gerry-

Congrats!

I picked up mine on Saturday, did 275 miles on Sunday. My wife rode her 1100 VStar, and the weather got rather chilly on our ride, I switched on the seat and grip heaters, and felt all toasty warm. When we stopped for gas my wife was shivering- I then went on to tell her how comfortable I was and that my butt never felt warmer.... note to self, keep these things to myself in the future...
