Will have to avoid the shop for a couple of weeks to get over this.

Better go out and ride my 06 Tiger to help ease the pain.
Dang, I wish I had your fortitude. I gave in and bought a Blaze Orange Tiger today. Sort of. Had to have orange. Had to have ABS. The blue one had ABS. Blue looks too much like my wife's Nissan Sentra. The dealer is switching the color panels tomorrow. Problem - I will own an ABS Tiger that doesn't say ABS on the rear fender. Anyone have a pair of "ABS" decals?

RT, I hate to be the one who tells you this, but you are doomed. You'll be riding a fantastic blaze orange Tiger soon!

Of course, there's hope. Take one for a test ride and you might not like it. (he he he...I'm just terrible)

Hey welcome to the club! Nice bike!
You need to go get a pint at the Dodging Duck Brewhaus to celebrate.
Drink one for me!
