You are lucky! I take my MSF course next week (last one of the year) and then I have to wait all through the long Canadian winter to buy a bike and get started. Having all the gear already is really making me ancy. 6... months... to... go... :frusty:

Damn nice bike!

Be careful driving now. On those few unfortunate occasions you must use a car it's worse than valium. Puts you to sleeeeeeeep....

Congrats man, nice ride, nice jacket, nice helmet, nice gloves. Are you not worried about your feet or did you run out of money? Not to rag on you but you need your pinkies protected. We send you wishes for many happy and safe miles.

The therapy worked, I got a GS now
