40 days

[pegasus1300]

So the first month of ownership is over. I get more excited every day about riding Charlotte. What a wonderful machine. Yes I have ridden a 1330 and it was great,but I couldn't afford a 2014 or newer 1330 RT. The 998 V Twin has all I need as long as I remember to keep it reved up. And it is so fun to run it at those higher revs.
As long as I keep the revs up it gets over 30 mpg which is better then my Gold Wing ever got. It rides so nice and I can feel the road again. This is almost as good as 2 wheels.
So far I have added the Bluetooth dongle and wires from Motorcycle Dave,Spyderpops block off plate,Kuryakan Gold Wing grips and Big Bike Parts luggage rack from Value Accessories and tri pouches to the dash board. Still to come Bluetooth head sets and a gel pad for the seat. When I build up the bank account again I will be adding the Bajaron anti sway bar.
Leaving for Sturgis with some friends on Aug 1. I can hardly wait.

Congratulations on your first month of ownership! It sounds like you are well on your way to personalizing your ryde to fit your needs. Happy farkling! If you have not had it laser aligned yet, I would recommend that you get it done. For me it made a significant difference in handling and riding enjoyment.

Congratulations on your fine ride. With folks drooling for F3s, there are lots of great bargains.

It sounds like you have mastered the "mysteries of the 998." It is a great machine. :yes: We love our 2011. Just turned 20K miles on it. Put into service in July 2012.
