Almost here.........

About 3km from where I live is my local dealer.

He called me about 30 minutes ago - a large brown box containing my black T'bird has just arrived.

We however have a long weekend - so Tuesday arvo at about 15:00 (and I have a job interview at 10:30 in the morning so I dunno how I am going to go with that), I should be sitting on my brand new bike.

I have a sh*tload of accessories behind my desk at home so then I will have a happy time installing....

Picked up beautiful black T'bird yesterday - had a couple of mates to ride shotgun. Bike was a tad delayed and when I left (with it) at 5:00 it was just starting to rain - managed to go faster than the clouds however and got home ok - having grin removal surgery very soon.

Spent last night putting shiny things on and went for a 150km ride today.

Love the bike!

Pretty dreadful (taken with Iphone) attached.

She's a beaut Stan! It's an awesome bike isn't it?!

What kind of "lubricant" is that in the lower left??

Enjoy. And we're looking forward to additional pics!

Hopefully some pic's below;

Hypervista - to answer your question - that is an extremely fine grade of Australian lubricant. It is domestic use only because we are scared what would happen if we exported it to the US!


Only things missing are the longhawl pillion pad and the rack - and my personalised plates. They are still at the motor registry until the dealer does his thing with the initial registration of the bike (the plates say "STAN" ).
