Sold the Vino today - R2 tomorrow!

My new R2 is arriving tomorrow and I'm so (insert choice of modifier here) excited! boogn1sh has got the day off so he's gonna help me break it in properly. i hope to document the occasion properly with pics so hopefully more later.

Welcome to the group. You're gonna love it.

ENJOY!

Welcome Sammy!

That's right! My kind of music.

Welcome to the pack! You're gonna love this little screamer...looking forward to the de-flowering of your new scoot.

Now its Tuesday. I'm still awake and badmotorscooter will be up and on-air in a few hours! Hopefully I'll be awake by the time he gets off.

Maybe I should just stay up, i can probably find something to do for a few hours

Hey badmotorscooter,

It's good to see another rider from Fayetteville on a R2. When I get back I hope to be one more. Did you buy yours from Big Boar like boogn1sh?

Keep up the good work on KUAF. My favorite station.

Chad, the owner of Big Boar is the man!

yup, boogn1sh talked them up a lot and with my past experiences with the 'other' known shop...it was a no-brainer to go with Big Boar. probably saved AT LEAST $500 by going a little out of town...but not as far out of town as boogn1sh went. i think he was just really bored that weekend;)

called 'em just a bit ago and the bike is 'en route' from the Texas store....am chomping at the bit.

There's one happy boy!

just put about ten miles on the R2 and THIS IS NOT A SCOOTER i'm most suprised by the quick snap (for me) of the first turn of the throttle but from there through acceleration it's really smooth. of course, i'm basically a 'first time rider' so that has more to do with it than the machine does. but what a blast!!!

i'd like to get some opinions on the way i'm breaking it in. i live on a hill (we actually call it Sequoyah Mountian but it's our mountain, damnit) but at the top there's an area that's basically a mile-plus long oval. i've been running through 3rd then decelerating and every once in a while getting it into fourth and decelerating. how's that sound...and am i spelling decelerating correctly

Congratulations!!! I'm happy to hear you've got your new baby and are enjoying it. My house is on the Mount too (sure seems like a mountain when I run up the SOB!) so once I get back it'll be easy to swing past and go riding!

Accelerating and decelerating, go through the gears. Ride it like you would want to.
