Hi Everybody,

52 year old lifetime rider from Austin, Texas checking in!

I just traded in my Aprilia Dorsoduro 1200 for a new 2017 SDR. I own several other vintage Italian bikes, but always like to keep a new-ish fun bike to hoon around on. Due to a bad case of bronchitis, I have only put a handful of miles on the bike so far, but I'm really looking forward to getting to know this bike.

I got the track pack and the perf pack, because why the fook not??!!

No mods yet, but I have a tail tidy on order. I'm going to clean up the tail, and just ride it and enjoy it for a while. I'm trying to resist the urge to tinker too much with this bike. I kind of like the idea of having a Stealth Fighter....why let the law know I'm coming? I'm not sure that I can resist the siren song of the full Akro exhaust, but I'm going to try for a little while at least....at least until Fathers Day. wait, thats next weekend!

I'll post up a picture as soon as I tidy up the tail. Looking forward to getting to know some of you guys. Cheers!

You must be Eggstatic. Welcome home and I'll see you next year at the MotoGP. If you must reside in Texas it may as well be Austin. I'll be the one in the SF Giants cap.

Welcome in!

Don't be afraid to use the SEARCH button as many questions have been asked before. Err ... you have a '17 right? So ... a few unanswered questions have been asked before.

Enjoy!
