Show us your "day 1" pics of your Connie! Scratch & Sniff... ;)
« on: October 27, 2011, 10:12:51 PM »
I was searching through some old pics and came across some "day 1" pics of when I brought my Connie home brand new from the dealer 9/23/10 (note the oem tire stripe). She looks a little different today a year later with some farkles added, but looking at this pic I can still smell that "new smell", if you bought yours new you know what smell I'm talking about!  :) :P
 
Yes, I did have a Muzzys slip-on and fender eliminator kit put on at the dealer before riding off the lot...  ;)

It was raining and about 40 degrees that day. The dealership is about 50 miles away. That was a long ride on new tires in the wet. The bike had half again the power of anything else I had ever owned and even though it had traction control I remember being VERY light on the throttle.

Here she is. The first day off the lot. Probably had about 20 miles on it. That was about 1 year & 3 months and over 18k miles ago. I guess I need some updated pics.
