Hey guys thanks for the warm welcomes! Im excited to be out there on the road, its much different from being in a car. Its like the only thing that matters in that moment is you the bike and the road. Its an euphoric feeling. Is anyone near the Daytona beach area that might want to ride sometime? Im a full time chef so I usually ride at night or on the weekends. Let me know!

Hah that's awesome! I've put about 200 miles on the bike so far not much but its something! As for the orange I've never thought about putting that color on but it would go well! Also I just got some new clubmans from dcc, been searching but I can't seem to find a guide on installing it. Thanks!
