Well gang,
This is the natural conclusion to this thread. After 41 hours and 1820 miles, Maine to North Carolina and back, I now have this sitting in my garage.
A big shout-out to Great Western Motorcycles of Statesville, NC for making sure this is the bike I was looking for. And of course a huge Thank you to my wife and sister in-law for coming along on this road trip.
When people look at me like I am crazy when I tell them I went all the way to North Carolina for this bike, I just tell them, "It's a motorcycle thing, you wouldn't understand."
