    	Well my bike finally arrived!!  I was at the dealer as they took
    the crate off the transport truck.  I had to wait a couple of hours
    while they put it together but I was able to convince them not to put
    all the warning and dealer stickers on.
    
    	The bike is physically much smaller than my ZX-11 and alot lighter.
    It appears to be narrower and maybe a bit shorter than my friends VFR750.  
    I managed to get 200kms on last night and I'm very impressed.  I'm just
    breaking in the engine so I'm not able to use its full potential but it
    is going to be a blast to ride. 
    
    	I'll hold off riding comments until I get some more seat time.  The
    only two negative points are minor; 1)The mirrors give a clear, blur free 
    view of your elbows,2) this bike is to quiet!!!  You can just hear the 
    v-twin rumble and it sounds great.  I rode without ear plugs just so I could
    listen but I need more volume!  Rolling off when going through a rock
    cut or alley is great.  I think there may be some Staintunes exhausts
    in my future.
    
    	I awoke to pouring rain this morning and its supposed to rain for
    this whole long weekend.  The gods are against me.
