SteveMac, you guys can "performance test" it all the way to Durham or if the timings not right, I'm sure Docdoru would be happy to "let it all hang out". Of course, Brian might need to ask BRP for an engine replacement after that trip.
Hanging out at cowtown today - ill be on the lookout for you.
My bike arrived in my driveway around 1:45p today and I just had to take it for a ride - I mean it had been almost an entire WEEK since I dropped it off at Cowtown after Spyderfest. Just had a little dirt on it, but other than that in perfect shape.
Drove it to a Mexican restaurant to meet some friends and no sooner did I take my helmet off - I was asked my first "spyder gawker question":
Is that comfortable to ride? (The guy thought the forward seating position of the RS looked uncomfortable).
So I go in and hang wiht some friends and walk out and it was RAINING. Sure the forecast said it was gonna rain. and if I looked to the west, it was obvious it was going to rain. BUT I DIDN'T REALLY CARE about the rain - I needed to ride!
Thanks to everyone at Spyderfest who were patient with me and provided their insights and experience :bowdown::bowdown:- was GREAT to get the bike home and feel comfortable to get on the roads and ride!

Here is a pic of me and my bike right after my first "ride" up and down the access road in front of Cowtown (thanks 8legs). Picked the bike up with 1 mile on the odometer and dropped it back off at Cowtown Sunday morning with just under 530 miles on the bike. Um, yes, I had fun! Now it is just waiting for the bike to arrive (now that my shipper backed out the day before he was supposed to pick it up - not sure how long the wait will be).
I took a couple of pics of your bike at the drive-in and here they are. You can see a few more of the mods, like the elka shocks, handle bars, glenda light, console and grips. Very cool looking bike.
