Not the most ideal way to receive/ride for the first time (wedding that is) but I called over 3 of my brothers who smartly shot over for the "quickie-ride"....
Since the weather is suckin' real bad since yesterday and expected thru late Thursday night, the official touchy-feely, "really" take it out for spin day may not happen until Friday/Saturday. BUT who knows if the sun should peak thru....

I guess what I'm trying to say is, IT'S HERE!!!!
Saturday morning around 9:30am. As I mentioned before I was hosting a wedding in the backyard and of course things were crazy at the house with visiting relatives etc. etc. Beleive you me, it was killin' me all day until I was a few beer steins into the keg...
Did I peg the sticks you ask? Welllllllllll maybe just for a second. Without really knowing the trim and with four 200 pounders onboard it tattle-tailed at 81.5 and let me tell ya, it got there quick. A couple of HRPA bubba's happened to arrive at the marina and verified this by sneaking onboard and finding the tattle-tail prior to being put on the rack...
They were good Joe's though, because they also scrubbed the road grit off the hull and flushed it after I scrambled to get back home with my cell ringing off the hook.
The new standard upgrade bolsters and the new dash arrangement is far more impressive than I imagined. Far more leg room than before. I can't wait to get back to it and really go over it well...More info and more pics later as I get them...
Thanks to the "Sunsation Posse" and especially David Hare and Mark at Shoreline Marina for putting out a herculean effort to get it to me by this past weekend....
