Had a call from Motomart at 5.25pm yesterday to say my new baby has arrived in Wgtn! Went in and had a look at her, fresh out of the crate and her plastic wrapping. She's lovely!!!
I collect her tonight. Can't wait. Weather forecast is crap for the weekend, might not get my first 1,000kms done straight away.
I have some protection all ready and waiting to fit before I first ride her: a Ventura headlight protector, a Ducati Corse tank protector, and that 3M Tankslapper stuff that Airplane and someone else has used for where my knees grip the tank.
Before I collect her tonight she'll have a set of Pirelli Diablos fitted instead of the Michelin Pilot Roads (nothing wrong with the Michelins, I've had them on my Beemer, but I love the Diablos on the 800). Also getting a Scottoiler fitted. Also changing the chain from RK (only got 18,000kms out of the RK on the 800 before it developed a tight spot) to DID.
Then we'll be ready to rock.
And at 1,000kms a set of Neptunes is being fitted.
What more could a girl want?
(Well, actually, heaps. You get all these wonderful accessory catalogues with the bike - I brought them home last night and have yellow stickied about every second page. Yeah yeah, I KNOW I don't need a set of titanium rearsets, but wouldn't they look trick? And yeah, I don't need a carbon fibre hugger or front guard, but wouldn't the boys be impressed?)
(and when a girl's got a birthday coming up in the very near future, she has to give the husband plenty of choices as to what to buy her, doesn't she?)
