Proud Papa of a bouncing baby 2015 ES

RJAMT · Jan 19, 2015

Took delivery this afternoon. Both papa and baby are doing well.

Baby had 0.1 miles on the odometer and was wheeled right from the warehouse to me having never seen the showroom.

Now I've got to finish reading the manual and start planning my spring trip.

Thanks to all who have contributed so much useful info. It helped greatly with my decision. Hopefully I'll eventually learn enough about my new love to contribute also.

Enjoy.

Don't do like I did and wreck it the first day. You will burn up all your modification money on repairs.

Good luck with the '15. Everyday I like the look of mine better and better.

Absolutely love my '09, but gotta say the '15s are calling loudly...

Congrats. You have a 48 hour window to post pix, otherwise you owe cookies to the rest of the class.

How to learn about your new bike: ride. (Eventually you need to read about the right-hand data screen, but you can ride first.)

Congratulations! She's a beauty, isn't she?

I decided to do the deal yesterday partly because it hit an unseasonable 56 degrees. Rode my trade-in the 35 miles to the dealer then rode the 60 miles back home (it was getting dark).

I'll try to get a picture today and post it if I get out of work in time.

That's what happens when you have an FJR, I find it all the time. All journeys seem to be significantly further.

PICS...COOKIES FOR ALL...

RJAMT · Jan 20, 2015

Yesterday's sunshine is gone and winter is on the way back but I slipped out for a quick cruise after work.

Here's baby by a corn field (it is Illinois after all)

And here she is by a mostly frozen pond. Tried to get the geese in the background to pose but oh well....

Lastly, along the Kaskaskia river. It looks like a ditch but I'm actually up on a small bluff.

Alright, the pics look okay in the preview but obviously aren't coming out right. I'll keep trying to figure out what happened.
