Default my NEW bike!

ok, i know everyone is tired of hearing about me waiting and wanting the M50...but here is my official "I FINALLY OWN ONE" thread.

Ive changed my "bike" info so that makes it official right?

Story: wasnt getting a good price local in tampa, made some calls saturday morning and a guy about an hour north hooked me up with MSRP out the door. went to pick it up saturday evening.

while inspecting (drooling on it) i noticed a scratch on the top corner of the gas tank and told the sales manager. he went outside with a not so happy look. they decided it was damaged in shipping, took a pic, and are going to get a whole new tank from suzuki. i got them to throw in a set of Kuryakan grips for free and install them, which they will do when i go back up to get the tank when it comes in. Will probably be doing the 600 mile at that time too.

It been raining all night and i supposed to rain all day today, so i havent ridden it more than 2 blocks or over 30 mph yet.

Here is the first pic for you guys to see. I'll post more when the weather clears.



notice how the old bike is just out in the rain? the cover is an old car cover and is probably big enough to cover both too! haha....took the pic through the screen for added effect. im so unhappy about not being able to ride it. i know how you guys up north who are getting bikes and cant ride yet due to weather.
