Picked the 2013 up today

[Old Guy]

I bought the bike at Mike Johnson's Power Sports in Russellville, Arkansas, because of the good service a friend and I have gotten there for the last 25 years or so. It's a good shop with very good people -- lots of long-term associates who know their business.

I think I’m gonna enjoy this bike. I only put 150 miles on it, and they were easy miles. I do believe in breaking one in easy. I left the shop, glanced at the instruments a half mile later, and my signal was still flashing. What? I can’t believe the company who invented self-cancelling turn signals in 1977 didn’t put them on this bike ;o) I guess there’s a good technical reason, and it wouldn’t have changed my mind. Just weird.

High for the day, according to the bike, was 42 degrees. The heated grips were nice, but I'll be hooking up the Gerbings before my next winter ride.

The bike is comfortable. It's not as plush and arm-chair comfortable as my Goldwing, but I know now I'll enjoy it a lot more.

I think I'll keep it

Congatulations on the new ride. I don't miss my Wing at all.

Congrats. Enjoy the balmy 42 degrees.

Congrats Old Guy from another old guy, enjoy your new ride...spring is just around the corner...

I'm riding again tomorrow. Weather forecast calls for a high of 54. I may have to wear the Mesh gear to keep from overheating

God it feels like a month since I've seen the sun last time this sucks....I pray for mid 40 degree weather

Oh and congrats on the new bike!

Congratulations on your new ride! They are, IMHO, great bikes, comforatable for very long trips and all the power I could want! vroom vroom

Just curious, what color? The new windscreen is nice as are the euro LED trun signals and new side louver vents.

Enjoy!

As far as I know all of the U.S. versions of the 2013 are the same dark silver color. Fairlaner has lots of excellent pics of this in his thread "My 2013 has arrived"

Correct. Gary said "They offer Stone Grey or Stone Grey." I said "I like the grey, but I think the grey may be easier to keep clean."
