Greetings from Escondido, CA

Hello Captains,

I've been lurking on the forum for a few weeks now, doing research before purchase. All the knowledgeable postings on this forum have been really helpful in the process, and I want to thank you for that.

I finally pulled the trigger on a new-to-me 2011 Roadster on Saturday, and took it for a nice 200 mile ride around San Diego county back roads on Sunday:

The bike is pretty much bone stock with only 2,200 miles on it, but that should be fixed soon as I'm commuting 40 miles a day with it throughout the year. Some of the near-term upgrades I'm planning for the bike are:

• Rear suspension (Hagon Nitros?)
• Pipes + air filters + tune (TORs + 3x K&N + TuneECU?)
• Smaller mirrors (for lane splitting)
• Highway pegs (trying to find something that doesn't require a crash bar install)
• Radar detector (for those ton-up moments )
• Black powder coat for some of the shiny bits

Welcome from NJ, very jealous of your warm weather. Enjoy your new ride,. The crash bars will save you a lot of damage if your bike falls over and they do make a handy place for highway pegs. JMHO
