My new toy!

Brought home my new '09 TE450 yesterday, thanks to NAGA for all the help installing the Rekluse, left hand rear brake, and all the new little goodies.

Brand spankin' new, time to tear it apart.





My personal master mechanic.



There he is again mounting the bigger tank.




Ready to ride



I am still waiting for some parts to slolwly trickle in, so far I've installed the Rekluse, LHRB, my old Flexx bars, BRP chain guide, Cycra hand guards, Up-tite skid plate, raised the speedo so you can see it, IMS tank, 7602; clutch cover, ignition cover, and case saver, safety wire to hold fuel pump and Motosportz rad guards, I still need to install my shiny disc guards. I've only got 2 short rides on her so far and I'm loving it. It feels so much lighter than my '05 TE510. I can't wait till it's all broken in and ready for a serious ride.

...holding your hand while you drove down to pick it up, getting you lost in Vacaville, assuring you that everything was going to be alright, unloading the 47 boxes of farkle you bought for the thing, reminding you that a few scratches were OK, etc., etc., etc., ...

Holy cow Batman that is a sweet looking ride, pity about the owner (just joshing). Looking forward to your first few ride impressions etc.

... is that thing dirty yet? Got a plate on it? Sheesh, new bike owners...

Bling! Congrats.
