Hey congrats buddy for your new set of wheels it looks absolutely royal and makes you feel the same even after a pretty long ride and seems to be equally comfortable for the pillion rider as well. Hope even you enjoy it s every body else does.

They are a nice bike to ride. Hopefully you dont have any issues with it, electrical wise. I was going to get one to replace my Kawasaki Voyager years ago and everyone one (3) I rode had electrical issues. Two were new bikes and one was 1 year old and used. Went with the harley and havent had any issues.

Well we just got back from 4 days with the "wing". Drove to Canmore on thursday by way of hgw #22 through RMH. Total time just over 6 hours, and fighting a mean nasty wind from Rocky to Cochrane for a couple of hours. Drove to Banff and Lake Louise on friday with family, back to Canmore. Sat, back to Banff for time on Sulphur Mtn. then we just toured around by ourselves for a bit, back to Canmore. Sunday left Canmore at 7:20 got home just after !:00 pm. Better weather, no wind, but for the first 2 hours quite cold, and very foggy. Must admit that after about 6 hours on bike, bum still comfy but knees get sore, have to stretch legs every so often. Hubby(driver) his arms get numb after a while, but that is just him. I think we just need more seat time to get used to it, just like riding a horse, stiff and sore for the first while, then all good after that. Would like to do a few days more in mountains. Camp at Bighorn with bikes on trailer then ride out each day, Banff one day, Jasper the next, then home, instead of quads. Weather was excellent, no rain. We saw a lot of Goldwings and the Harley touring bikes,( don't know what they are called), can't hear a "wing" riding around.

Our bike was originally owned by someone in Huntington Beach, California. We have his name in the manual and his address. I contacted him through FB and let him know where his bike ended up but he did not respond back. Bike is great though. But since it is getting cold here it will be put away soon for the winter.
