    So Johnny I got a question
    If this new RG yer gittin has cruise control. What are ya gonna do with it.
    Ever rode with Cruise control before ?

    And dual dis front brakes.
    If you ever change yer brakes out. Look at Lyndall Z racin pads to stop the 800lb monster.
    I would want rear crash bars to protect the saddle bags

    He's either eatin Turkey or sleepin.
    If I had to wait to go pick up a bike, I might not be able to sleep.
    Waitin ain't my good virture.
    Would be climbin the walls.
    I would probaly miss turkey day, drive over there and git a motel room.
    I don't wait very good.

    Bike is coming in in Jan/Feb....not great for riding now anyways. It's the blue and Black..I liked the black pearl and silver pearl but my bride prefers the blue so that's that. She's the one telling me to go out and get this rig sooooooo blue is just fine. I'm not going to do a lot to it..maybe stage one, take some of the leaness out of it, put a trailer hitch on it..shorter shocks and then it's giddy up go..but have to get thru the winter first. I'm looking forward to it..they're a pretty nice bike right out of the box.

    Well, as Cardboard was saying on an earlier post that he would not be able to sleep as he would be too anxious to sleep. Well, I think that I am experiencing the same thing but am sure if it is because of the anticipation of a new bike, or the fact that it will be going onto a trailer without a wheel chock? Not sure if I have anything to be worried about or not but it just doesn't sound good to me. I am seriously considering on just riding it home. I am really stoked though. Any input??
