New stock beauty

I shall call her Blackbird, unless that's taken.

Yup, sure looks like a GZ. Congrats and ride safe.

Mine was black also. Good luck with her. You've made the smartest investment in your safety & well being by take the MSF BRC. Good luck and ride safe.

Congrats on your new bike, Blackbird! Mine is a black 2009 that I bought in May with 0 miles on it. I now have 1400 miles. My GZ is named the Beast. Happy riding and have fun. It's so easy to fall in love with the GZ it's a great bike!

Big :2tup: for ATGATT. Around here a lot of riders are muttering about having to buy armored gear after seeing an underdressed friend get all messed up with a low speed mishap. Dressing for the crash is far better than thinking about it after you are hurt.

Have fun and be safe. Be prepared to kick your bad habits you didn't know you had at MSF.

I worked late tonight and just got home around 10:00pm. Some of the electricians were getting ready to leave. We were talking about the bikes they had and they were asking questions about mine. Right before I left I pushed out so I wouldn't blast them with gas fumes, and said "Prepare for the light show" and I flicked on my LED kit. I got a couple of chuckles and hear done of them say "He's got a light kit on a 250", to which I replied... anything that keeps me from getting hit. You'll have a blast, meeting other bikers is great fun, except when they're Harley elitist.
