Funny! I've already got that all picked out. However, I don't think my Honda will like her new spot.

anything to watch out for?

depends on what you are used to riding. Take it easy initially and work your way into it. Handling is somewhat different to other types of bike.

The bike is tall. Make sure you have footing when stopping and turning. Part way through the year the bike felt alot smaller to me.

Also look for grin on your face when you look in the mirrors.

It is a fun bike. I just love riding the gravel roads and then blasting some paved twisties.

It is a great 2 up riding bike. Wife and kids have no problem riding on the back.
