Update: Thanks for all the input from many of you. All went well. Drove to Arizona with the wife to pick up our son from college. The next day they drove home to Sacramento and I flew from AZ to New Mexico to pick up the bike. Ordered a charging port (with the advice of another member) and had it delivered to the sellers house so it was waiting for me when I got there. It was plug and play for the most part and worked out really well. Nice to have a phone for a long ride. I also purchased a bluetooth for some tunes, which was ok. Fit ok in my helmet at first and really bugged by the last day, I pulled it out by then. Will either use with another helmet or sell. I love listening to music, but I also like to just get hypnotized my the humm inside a helmet.
Anyway, first day I rode to Flagstaff AZ for the night. Good ride that day. Hit a bit of mild rain in NM but it was a short spurt and not enought to even get wet. Motel 6 for the night got the job done and headed out in the am. Beauthiful weather in the morning which grew warmer throughout the day. By the time I hit Needles, AZ, it was nearing 110 degrees....miserable, and I was wearing gloves, full face helmet, and a vented jacked. I did take my gloves off for a few hours that day and of course, by days end the only sunburn I had was from my fingers to my wrist. Prett funny, I saw a bunch of other riders wearing basically nothing and they were fried. Made it to Bakersfield, CA by end of day and the next days ride was about half a day to home.
Picked up the bike (2011 model) with less that 900 miles and had almost 2000 miles on it by the time I got home. Never bought a bike like that before, all in all had a blast.
