First impressions 6 Months, 1 Week ago  
So I made the trip and got my "new to me" bike home last week, a 2005 Silverado 1700.
I bought it off Kijiji sight unseen as an impulse buy, I was kicking around the idea of a cruiser as my wife has a Suzuki S40 and cruising with her on my DR650 or my BWS was less than amusing.
The guy said it was mint other than a shot rear tire so we struck a deal and he dropped it off with my inlaws.
He never lied, it's like new now that the tires are changed.
So after about 500km these are my thoughts;
-this forum is invaluable, so much relevant info I have already used.
-I like it!
-The only nitpick I have is what were they thinking when they placed the passing lamp switch?...
-How am ever going to be able to leave it alone...so many accessories planned out already...
Cheers,
Rick

Enjoy your new ride! As a new R* owner myself it can be addictive thinking about all the fun stuff we can add to our bikes. Best advice is just to get out and ride it!

Representing Scorpion Gulch, Arizona. I bought mine having only seen pictures of it. It was as advertised, and in 4 years it has only given me dependable service.

It is a terrible, incurable addiction... I have 3 now, and have bought and sold a couple or three others. When I roll up the garage door, it's like... which one will I ride this time?

Oh, and from SE Massachusetts!
