V11crazed Posted March 4, 2008 Share Posted March 4, 2008 Hello all! I guess it was a couple of months ago that I joined this board in anticipation of the arrival of an '01 V11 sport. Metallic green and lovely.... Well, I got a call today from Haulbikes that the bike will arrive on my doorstep Friday afternoon. The timing couldn't be better....our winter "rains" have passed and the weather is calling for low 80's and sunny for the weekend. Plus, well.........it's the weekend! I promise to post photos as soon as possible and probably ask more questions as I spend some with da bike.... V11crazed...aka: Nancy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dhansen Posted March 5, 2008 Share Posted March 5, 2008 You sly dog V11c................ I can hear the sleet bouncing off the window beside me. Winter will not let go here in Maine. Good on you for having a chance to ride the new baby this weekend. Just look her over close before you fire and ride! Hold on tight! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WitchCityBallabio Posted March 5, 2008 Share Posted March 5, 2008 I was just thinking the other day that I'm close to driving the bike again as the temperatures are nearing the magical 35 degree mark. That's my minimum temp that I can ride to work and be reasonably comfortable. 80....... Bastard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BRENTTODD Posted March 5, 2008 Share Posted March 5, 2008 We had couple of warm days but threat of rain very high. Its raining now this just like teasing a nasty dog with a bone.

JackBoots Posted March 5, 2008 Share Posted March 5, 2008 Good luck with the new bike! I hope you LOVE IT! Too much salt on the road here to take out my beautiful Guzzi but I did take my old BMW to work yesterday. The BMW is now front to back white with SALT! Yuck! It was still worth the taste of riding again. It's the only thing that truely cures the Winter seasonal depression Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
waspp Posted March 6, 2008 Share Posted March 6, 2008 You sly dog V11c................ I can hear the sleet bouncing off the window beside me. Winter will not let go here in Maine. Isn't that the truth! I haven't ridden since October! Today looks a little promising temp in the low 40's and believe it or not THE SUN IS SHINING! The roads are still messed up with sand and salt so i'll take a rip on the X and hit some dirt roads. Thats great V11c hope you have great first ride on that "greenie" !
