 ZERO miles. Well, the trip meter reads 0.4.  Now the long wait for riding season.  Couldn't resist at least starting it up and going 100 yards down the street and back. There is a ton of salt on the roads right now. As soon as I turned out of the driveway the rear end kicked out and startled me. It sure would suck to dump it with zero mileage! The engine has some bark, that's for sure. Finally back on a proper bike. |

Will post a follow-up walk-around video after the pipe and ECU are installed. Don't plan to do anything but replace the rear fender until it is broken in, 5-600 miles.

Also picked up a nice leather Joe Rocket riding jacket, normally $350, was on sale for $140. Pretty excited about that.  |

So happy already. Wait until you start riding it. 😁 Yeah. I am taking _at least_ one two-week adventure, just me. Starting to scope out Maine, Mt Washington, eastern-coast in general. The West is vast, Northeast is training grounds. |

Road trips are nice, I’ll be going somewhere when the warm weather gets here. If you want some storage for it check out the seat bag I got it’s on page 4 of mine. It also acts as a mini backrest, Nelso-Riggs commuter series. I’ve had a 20lb bag of pet food in it and more space to go.

Yeah I got a Nelson-Riggs for the scoot. The first one wasn't quite big enough to fit my laptop, so I returned it and got the next size up. Looks like you might have the same one. Nice bag for sure, it fits a full size helmet with the expansion zippers.  |

I didn’t realize you had one, your all set then. It doesn’t look the greatest but adds much needed storage when there is none.

Mivv ordered Jan 27, arrived Feb 25, today. Little more than the 1-8 days they advertised. There were apparent internal communication issues with the depot, seemed something was on back order, or not? Not perfectly clear after google translated the attached email chain from Italian to English. Can't install it, but can never wait to get new stuff. Nice pieces. It comes with a standard slip-on to the cat. I got the full exhaust cat-delete.  dB-killer is easily removed with a 3mm allen wrench.  Opens right up. It's gonna be loud. The silencer is slightly shorter than the one on my scoot.  |

You may not have put it on but I have a feeling you still made engine noises through it...
Looks great, I’m sure it’ll sound pretty nice once on there.

It has taken a while. But worth the wait.
My Mivv system with cat delete, was crazy loud without the baffle in. Only needed about 10 seconds with the bike running, to put it back in. Sounded like a formula one car!
I used to go out at dawn on weekends so I could ride my favourite roads fast. Before the police and traffic was up and spoiling the fun. I don't think my neighbours would of been impressed.
