[Flyinbrianbmx]

Never had a bike that I could go off-road on and feel this confident. This is such a great motorcycle, I love it more and more everyday!

Yes it is! pretty nice! takes up a lot of space where the rear brake is though so I had to buy the rear brake extension peice.

I like that piece. I have no plans for big heavy crash bars. Just what I am looking for!

 

What pipe is that?

[slakdawg]

I know that underpass  

 

Great roads (on and off) up there. When I get mine, we need to ride, I'm sure you know more roads than I know up that way. (Rob Coulter on FB group)

That would be awesome Rob! I only know a few dirt roads also right now, give me 2 months and I'll know a lot more!

Oh, well then maybe I can show you around, ha! I've been going up to Pisgah for a "couple" of years now.

 

If you like following tracks, there are a couple good ones. These are both events in the area that I have participated in.

I'm digging the carbon fiber side fairing panels, did you order straight from the website? And I'm guessing they ship to the US since you have them, how bad was the shipping cost and how long did you wait to get them?

Nice looking bike btw, enjoy. If you are ever near Boone give me a shout.

So you got your bike in NC? What dealer?

 

I'm still waiting here in Charlotte area. Supposedly mid-July. 

 

Lots of great riding up in Boone area. Wilson Creek is my favorite.

They were actually great with shipping and not expensive at all. got to my door in a week at most! Also I think you get a deal if you order both the side panels and the exhaust, not the best deal but hey I liked them both before figuring that out!

 

I've been having a NIGHTMARE of a time dealing with OFF THE ROAD.DE right now though with the covid shipping delays.  I guess some companies just use better shipping than others out there. not off the roads fault but frustrating none the less. 

but Wings was great!

I got mine from MR Motorcycle in Asheville NC. I guess since Asheville is so close to the Yamaha distro in Greenville SC I was one of the first to get it. I think shipping started on the 8th and I got mine on the 11th.
