    Default New F3S went on a cross country road trip!

    Hi all!
    Just had a great adventure flying in to Dallas to pick up my new F3-S in Greenville, TX. Rode it back (doing my best to follow break-in procedure), 5 days and almost 2400 miles. What a great adventure! Didn't take as many pics as I'd like but did take some decent ones, will post them shortly. Absolutely love my ryde! Hoping to fill in the rest of the West Coast soon, including AK. My brother just bought a 2013 RT-S so perhaps he'll go on a road trip with me next time!

    Didn't someone just recently ask how much time the break in would require?
    Well... Here's your answer: 5 days! 😀
    What a great road trip!

    Thanks everyone! I actually had my almost-12-year old son ride with me for part of the trip. He loved it!
    Here are a few pics: 1st is at Louis Powersports in Greenville, TX (place of purchase); 2nd is in Ardmore, OK where I tried my first cat fish fillet and frog legs (not too bad); 3rd is in Wilson, KS where apparently lots of Czech people live and a local restaurant has made from scratch food; 3rd is somewhere in Kansas at the end of that day...

    Awesome!!! Congrats on your new ride? Did Louis Powersports take good care of you? I've been meaning to drive over and check them out. Love the F3-S. Can't wait to get one. Yours looks REALLY nice.

    Thanks! Yes, I was pleased with the purchase process there. Mechanics left some dirt marks when installing the wind screen but nothing I couldn't deal with.
