Countdown (not the programme on telly)

The dealer called today saying my 880RE has arrived.     They're waiting on one of the accessories to come in (knuckle guards, centre stand or Oxford grips - I didn't ask which) before building and PDI'ing, so I've booked Thursday and Friday off next week to go and get it. Just got to hope the forecast improves, as it's pants right now. Friday or even Saturday are my backups just in case it is coming down stair rods.

It is going to be a long week!

Looking forward to reading your first impressions on the new bike. I was talking to feller up at Rothbury last week with an RE and he was full of praise for it. He reckons it was almost a torquey as his 1200GS in real-world situations, nearly as comfortable and a lot more fun to ride. It will hopefully be more reliable too. I don't doubt the reliability bit...
