I remember when I ordered my bike and came across this pic of it all boxed up. It was kind of a cool experience that was afforded me. I got the pictures of when it was first off loaded on the truck. Then the unboxing and another sitting on the showroom floor center stage. Its such a part of life and you dont realize it in the moment you make that decision. It still purrs, its still fun and its still great to get out on to clear your head.

I didn't think bikes came fully assembled. It seems like I remember new bikes came in without handlebars, front tire, etc. Dealers then had setup men get them ready. Robert it's cool you got to see your bike fresh off the truck.

Well besides from being a bit overanxious  :roll: the guys at the dealership were really good.

The Corbin dual tour and you design it with materials you want on it. I put the small carbon oval backrest on it and the luggage rack is just OEM Honda.

This is the site and was one of the ideas for the seat


This is the bike that they so kindly displayed for pickup when it was all done.

I did not have a windshield on the bike yet and wanted to ride it so I took it home. What a bear of a ride since it was windy. I know many dont mind not having a shield but I hate riding without one. But loved the bike from the first day I rode it home.

This was my salesperson, I was pissed, I had to tell her to watch that her jacket and boots did not scratch the bike.  ;D  ;)

I didnt know that the fenders were plastic and would not scratch or you could just buff out the scratches without hurting the finish.

I'm sorry you had to endure that. What an inconsiderate saleswoman.
If you can't be a good example: be a WARNING!!

Could that be a Norse Valkyrie on a Honda Valkyrie?
Thanks,
