Hi guys. I found the forums here and thought that I may as well introduce myself! I hope to pick up my Blue Fury on Tues or Weds after we get through this Independence day weekend. Although I've been riding for many years this will be my first experience with a V-Twin. I am trading in my 07 Kawi ZX6R. I have found that I am just not as flexible as I used to be, and after tearing my MCL last year, I am not enjoying riding the Ninja too much anymore. Sure I love the high speed high RPM blasts, but it's time to let go. That being said, I have several friends who ride cruisers who have been educating me on the cruiser world. My one friend in particular, who has a Big Dog Chopper has been a big influence on me too. Well, every Honda I have ever owned has been bullet-proof (04 599, 06 Civic Si, 03 Honda Rancher, my kids CRF 150) and I love the look of the Fury. I have been looking at them on the web for a couple months now, checked out a Burgundy one at the Dealer in Erie too, but I had kinda decided to get a Sabre. I like the pro street look too, and I thought it might not be as big of a change coming from the sport bike. I couldn't get the deal I wanted from the dealer in Erie so I checked out my local dealer, who told me they have a used Blue Fury that was only a couple months old, was sold by them, and was then traded on a car. So I'm going for it. The money numbers all work out, so I'm waiting on two things. 1). They haven't picked the bike up yet (it was a good customer of theirs) so that I can check out the condition 2). Gotta hear back from the bank, but I anticipate no issues there. So hopefully in the next couple days I will be sitting on a Blue Fury and riding much more comfortably. Maybe I'll get lucky and the previous owner will have already sprung for some Cobra Swepts! lol. Anyway, thanks for the intro, I hope to get to know a lot of you better and learn more as I enter this side of the bike world!
