Sure I bought it 2 years ago. It sat in the barn though, and I put about 500 miles on it in the last 2 years. last week I did a break-in oil change and headed out to New England for vacation. I put over 1000 miles on it, and Holy s#!t what an awesome bike. That's all I have to say. I don't know what took me so long.

Johnny - what led to the bike sittingfor so long? Were you out of town/state/country or military or sommething?

I cant imagine dropping several grand on a bike and not riding it.
Especially this one. Hell, the night that I bought it it was freezing out, but I couldnt NOT ride it home (about 90 miles)

Bike was a fire sale impulse buy in October 2009. I have lots of other bikes. Never got around to it I guess.

I now find myself in a position where I am going to sell most of my bikes, and I think the keepers are going to be my '04 Concours, 1125r, and my '01 S3T.

Good choices, all GREAT bikes.
I'm partial to my 08 1125R but am falling deeply in love with my 09 Ulysses.

Went to the store a couple of hours ago on the Uly.
Parked next to an 06 Firebolt - Black and red...

Enjoy it Johnny

Tentatively scheduled to go are:
'04 Firebolt (This is gonna hurt)
'06 Ulysses (One of the best bikes I've ever owned)
'93 DR650 (Mint Condition)
'03 Blast (Makes me sad to let this go too)
