Wow! That didn't take long! Congratulations!
Now, if only things at NASA and the government overall moved that quickly...
Have a fun and safe ride home.

I had an Iron-Butt run yesterday to get to know how she handles, and now I need some time in the garage to get to know some of her pre-installed accessories.

We had some business in Florida at Kennedy Space Center, and I found this as a really good deal out near Tampa. I flew out and picked it up Monday, got up close and personal with all the shuttle hardware on Tuesday (really cool trip! That's the Vehicle Assembly Building in the background. I couldn't ride it out to the pad when we went, or I would have had a picture of one rocket next to another), and rode back yesterday. I know my first post implied I was still there, but I didn't have a computer there, so I just posted it a little belatedly.

You now have the fastest color combo ever made. Blue and Silver.

Rocketman, you still waiting on the numbers to "buy back" the green and silver? If you're not planning to buy it back now, let me know, we may be interested. I've been looking for a bike to learn the mechanical stuff on .... I'm not risking my neck by learning on my riding bikes!

Mark may be right about that being the fastest color combo. What he forgot to mention is that Honda detuned all the two tone paint job models, much like Triumph has done with their Rocket III tourer. Black received full power. Adding safety chrome helps it run faster. In fact, I have never lost a race to a two tone Valk with a double wide sidecar. It just doesn't happen.

I concur with Gary; I always see lots of pretty colors in my rear view mirrors.

Mark Stovall has the new fast Blue and Silver I/S. Not Dave.
