My 950 has arrived!

advridergirl · 02-22-2006, 06:39 PM

The dealer called today and told me my bike has arrived from Austria!

I 'm so excited.

Now I have to get to Calgary to pick it up. It's snowed the last 2 days and the roads are all icy so I guess my first ride might be by trailer.

The most important thing is.....

make sure that you get the pen!

advridergirl · 02-22-2006, 06:54 PM

I want one of those! Do they have a matching mechanical pencil? I collect mechanical pencils.

hawgu82 · 02-22-2006, 07:14 PM

Congrats, Canada Girl. at least you will get outstanding fuel economy on your 1st ride ! [ in a truck ].

advridergirl · 02-22-2006, 07:19 PM

Thanks Hawgu82!

But I'd rather burn the fuel.

How are things down around your area? I lived in the Redmond area for the better part of 12 years and first started riding while I was down there. I"ll take the rain over the cold any day. Still wonder why I moved back.

hawgu82 · 02-22-2006, 07:53 PM

We're startin' to warm up now, thanx. Was sure some cold spell yu'all sent down to us last week tho. Like you i'm waitin for nice enough weather to go try out the new C-baileys windshield and 16 tooth sprocket.

MTDewX8 · 02-22-2006, 08:01 PM

I might be getting my first 950 this Friday

. But well see how the dealer sweet talks the rep. that would bring me the bike to him. course I will be suddenly sick on Friday (cough, cough)so I can make the 2 1/5 hr drive to the dealer, and due to me living alone and have yet to train my dog to drive my truck. I will also be trailering my first miles. that is SOO depessing. coures I will ride around town for as long as I can so I can say I rode it from the dealer.
oh the excitment.

advridergirl · 02-22-2006, 08:14 PM

Congrats MTDewX8!

Still sounds like you'll be riding before me. though I thought about the cough, cough, too. But'll probably leave it for a weekend - and it probably won't be this weekend.

My dealer's 3 hours away and I'd love to ride it home. I'll be happy to admire her in the garage for a few weeks while the weather clears up.

My Pen just ran out of ink. Does that mean I have to buy a new 990?

ZenMoto · 02-22-2006, 08:52 PM

Congrats to both of you!!!

D <- I didn't get a pen! ...WTF?

advridergirl · 02-22-2006, 09:03 PM

Thanks ZenMoto! That's a pretty sexy looking 950 you got there too

Looks like you guys got all the sun down in CA. What's that all about...?

Rock_93 · 02-23-2006, 09:06 AM

Congratulations on your new purchase. You could ride your 950 down in Calgary. If there is snow on the ground wait 5 min. and a Chinook will blow through and dry up the roads. I was down there at Christmas and lots of people were riding their Goldwings and Harleys. I think it was +13 c. It made me wish I would have loaded up the 950 in the back of the truck and brought it with me. I could have gone for a Christmas ride. We just need Global warming to come a little farther North.

advridergirl · 02-23-2006, 09:29 AM

Thanks Rock_93!

I know what you mean - when I delivered my 650 a few weeks ago to the dealer in Calgary, there were bikes everywhere! How do you like your 950? I think it's going to be a great year!

If we wait a little longer, I'm pretty sure global warming will makes it way.
