Lunch? F that. When I bought my bike, I called off work! Congrats! I checked out a black one this morning and I'm smitten! |

I can't pick it up yet, though - I guess the paper work comes a couple days behind the bike. I'll stop by my credit union though and get the financing squared away... |

MCN review, "And as you can imagine, a claimed 140bhp engine and upright bars means fun.” I REALLY like that bike once i've seen it in the flesh. The Sales guy said I could get a demo when it's not raining... |

Tell me about it. Too bad I gotta wait for the loan check until tomorrow. I'm dying here... |

Glad to hear your bikes in. When you're taking a break from breaking it in, post up a photo for us! |

Break in period is about 6 feet out of the dealer lot ride like you stole it |

Thump - I went with black, and after going to take a look at it yesterday I'm REALLY glad I did. The bike looks just great, and feels "right" to sit on it. I'm really hoping that my loan check will get cut today and I can pick up. If not, it should be first thing tomorrow. Weather around here is pretty cold and the sky keep threatening rain for today, so we'll see. |

Sweet! You can't go wrong with black. According to Harley's ad, it doesn't show dirt, or weakness. I think the determining factor for me would be white with blue accents. I'd be trading in the Lightning with a quickness. My bike's been down for two weeks, but the the rain has kept me from being motivated. I just got the belt yesterday... Post pictures, lots of pictures. |

Oh my god my head is going to explode. Our fax machines here aren't working right so I can't get the bill of sale to the credit union (they are getting it through my dealer, though), so I'm still waiting on the loan approval. On top of it, work is going to make me stay late tonight. I can't handle this anymore! |

mark: I can call your cell, got a relative who we can kill off Tis a conspiracy I tell you.... Everybody out to get you. Of course the sun had to come out, might have been easier to keep said head from exploding if it was still rainy.. Good luck with picking it up. Spitzies or Brunswick? I not sure if you said? |

Yes, patrick, the sun is not helping any, especially after how dismal the way was. Brunswick for me - Spitzie's and I don't jive, despite my dad knowing the owner. |

mark: yep I live near spitzies, but ride to brunswick for everything as well. IF I am feeling really adventurous I will drive to Utica HD/Buell (mainly to run the Ilion Gorge), but Utica is where I bought my XB. |

I bought my 00 m2 new from Spitzies, but once Brunswick became a Buell dealer , I have solely dealt with them. Jean and the crew at Brunswick are great to deal with. Spitzies--naaah... |
