Further details to the MTS saga. Since none of the keys would open the bags, I was going to visit the dealer to check into it. WTH, the bike won't start, battery seemed good, but starter wouldn't engage. Over and over I tried. Called the dealer and asked if we could cancel the sale. He said no biggie, and they came and picked it up. Originally I went in there because they had an XR1200, that I wanted, so I bought it today instead. No Ohlins, Brembos, L Twin, etc, but I had owned an XR in the past and this one felt more solid than the last one and guess I can live without the best stuff. New Michelin tires installed. Insurance premium is way less too.
Guess I found that second guessing myself might not always be the best thing to do. Kinda, the enemy you know is better than the one you don't... tomp
