I find myself in several areas of the US for extended periods of time, and am at a point in my life I don't want to ride my bikes thousands of miles to accompany me. The obvious solution is to have a bike waiting for me in the places I like to spend time, soooo last week I was in Cocoa Beach FL and realized I enjoy the the place more than I used to. I trotted over to Destination Daytona (a huge MC centric enterprise with bike dealers, condos, hotels, restaurants and bars, etc) and struck a **great deal** on an '09 T100 to keep at the Florida condo in Cocoa Beach. This will allow me have a bike in Polson Montana where I spend the summers, a bike in Florida for the winter, and at least one in California where I am most of the time. I'll probably need to sell one of the '07 creamsicles as the vintage bikes are also in California and I'm simply running out of space and time to ride them all. The 50th Anniversary will likely migrate North to Montana and the Montana based 07 Creamsicle will need to go - sad, since it only has 1,100 miles and has a few mods.
After riding my PC equipped 50th Anniversary for about 1,000 miles since October I immediately noticed the new dead stock Florida bike isn't quite as tractable as the 50th Anniv. I guess this is good news, as it confirms the PC and custom tune is doing me some good. I'll probably go with Togas and another Power Commander to make it run and sound "just right". I've attached a couple of first day pics - nothing special, but I noticed the green and ivory are almost identical to the colors on my 2001 Kawasaki W650 that I never should have sold...
