| Hey all,
Took the plunge today. I placed my deposit on a silver '10 Silverwing with less than .7k on the clock. Very excited to take delivery (20th). I'm UK-based (Norfolk) and have an A2 license so bike requires very slight restriction first. The bike did literally 70 miles in it's first 9 years of life then has done around 600 in the last 6 months. After 6 years zipping around on a Yamaha D'light I felt it was time to upgrade and the Silverwing simply called to me. It come with heated grips and charger is in glovebox. Also has a top-box but I think I'll remove that. Think I might consider back rests as first personal customisation. Will update once I take ownership. |

| A warm 92* WELCOME from East Tn. If you get an problem - all that's necessary is post your question. I'm sure someone has experienced the same thing. Don't be bashful. Again a WELCOME from the land of Davy Crockett and the 17th President Andrew Johnson. I no longer ride due to AGE & health, sold my 06 S/W but want to assist anyway I can. |

| Well they delivered it and my first thoughts were "!?!? That's big". In as great condition as promised. I tentatively took it for its first ride. Truly amazing. Thrilled to be one of you. Only complication - moving the thing when not in use. My drive is on a slight slope and that caused real complications. I'm sure I'll get used to it. First order of business remove the underseat bulb and the givi box from the back. |
