OK I'm a douchbag!

Well, I did it!...

...And I am absolutly "Electric" with excitment. Today, the man from the motorcycle store dropped off my 2010 R3 Roadster (still a few feet of snow-I live in Alaska) and there it sits in my garage...just waiting. Would you believe I leave for a 10 day dive trip to Cozumel tomorrow and now I dont want to go! I just want to drink beer in my garage all wknd and stare at it.

Its been 20 years, so I am taking an "ABATE" rider safety class. I also need to purchase helmut and leathers. I notice that the documentation that came with the bike is lame...I assume there is some expensive after-market manual I can purchase? I am looking for something that really "explodes" the bike in detail. It has 2 aftermarkets, that funky little smoke colored windscreen and Jardine "headers/pipes?"

Thanks again to all the welcomes from all over and I hope to meet other Rocket Riders in person someday-Doug from Alaska
 
Something must be seriously wrong with your R3, cootertwo, because by the time folks I encounter on the road look in their rearviews, I'm already waaaay past them!

Glad to hear that you didn't crack that unprotected coconut of yours, btw.
 
Thanks everyone, I feel better now that I confessed! Chitty weather down here in SW Florida the past two days. I WANT TO RIDE, but I don't want to get my new baby dirty. Guess I'll drag out the Kaw or the Hardly.
 
Chity weather in Florida???
Ask Douglas about it, he lives in Alaska
