Jim, compared to my Duc, I'm a little concerned about squeezing in on the Ferry's, this bike is HUGE to me. I still have some of your poached waypoints on my GPS from E WA, so, looking forward to some of those rides when schools out 
I'm very excited about the windshiled, luggage and planning my very first overnight trip on a bike!
Thanks for your kind words everyone, the exhaust is fine, its a running joke because of the lovely sound my Duc makes and how some people find that obnoxious, and, George's bikes were all sparkly clean, so were his yard,& garage, in fact, I'm glad I had just washed my truck....

It will take a little bit of getting used to. I'd suggest you remove the bags, fill the tank, check the tire pressure and head up to Stevens Pass. Make a u-turn and head back home. You'll love it! You'll be surprised at how quickly you pick-up on the special characteristics designed into this marvelous machine.Jim, compared to my Duc, I'm a little concerned about squeezing in on the Ferry's, this bike is HUGE to me.

I know you love moto-bikes. You're in for many many miles of moto-bliss on this wonderful bike SL.
BTW, the reason I suggest you remove the bags is because we all tend to scuff the bags while getting on and of the bike. Except George of course. You wont find a scuff mark on the beautiful bike. We all know what a good deal you scored on that bike given the care and attention to detail G shows his bikes. It wont be long and you too will understand the how fortunate you are. Congratulation!
Just ask IrishPhil. Phil knows!
Keep going!

Excellent advice Jim. Did I mention that George is swapping out the bigger windshield for me because I have that fetish thing going on??? It's the low speed stuff I'm concerned with, the Duc's so light & maneuverable......I've been remiss and realize I've only said it to him in email, where, BTW, he's already accessorizing my bike for me because he knows I'm clueless about when I need....HUGE-HUGE THANKS to IrishPhil, he's the one who sent me the link to Georges' bike and said it may be THE ONE because George had itIt will take a little bit of getting used to.

Phil schooled me months ago after I told him I took some sport tour bikes for test rides, he sent a list of the "right" bikes to look at, it was a very comprehensive list so don't anyone get their panties in a bunch... He's been a fantastic source of advice, even though he's the dry clutch hater Similar threads
