New R3R owner in SoCal

[alpental]

Just today I took delivery of my first ever bike, a new 2014 R3R, gloss black with twin red stripes. Spent the day cruising around Long Beach and had a blast, ending of course with a double double animal style! Definitely interested in meeting up for some group rides in a few months.

Side story: A year or so ago when my wife was pregnant with our first kid, she had a recurring set of dreams where I was cheating on her with someone named Angela (don't know anyone by that name). Naturally, I immediately named my bike Angela.

See there late at night only the Mates are up!
Welcome to this awesome forum from up north of you in WA.
Angela is indeed a beauty = your wife may have been clairvoyant.
Me thinks you likely may spend more time astride Angela than her.

Up? It's only 8.30 - but it is Sunday.
First ever bike? That's quite a challenge you've set yourself. Welcome aboard.
Um, excuse my ignorance but what's a double double animal style?
