Hope that is a better title for ya Wolfie!

ANYWAY!!!

Now I am sitting at work, it is raining outside and I wish it was yesterday!

It all Started Wednesday When my friend Scot picked me up at my house. We loaded up and headed out. Actually got through Chi town with no issues, it was the deadest I have ever seen it!

We got to his house drank a few beers and talked all things S2. He went over all the little quirks and everything I should look out for, do and keep an eye on. I took notes : )

At about 1am we head inside to catch a few Z's I just hope I can fall asleep, I feel like a 5 year old on Christmas eve!. I lie on Scot's couch and his clock is mocking me! It must know! TICK, TOCK TICK, TOCK TICK, TOCK TICK, TOCK I can still hear it LOL

I woke up yesterday at 6 am, showered and sat there quietly awaiting for Scot to awaken : )

We get to BMC at approx 8am or so, he throws me the keys to his truck and says go for a drive it is going to be a while, meetings, etc.

So I go for a drive take some pics with my Hawkeye and hand out, got some cheese curds and sat at the pond at the end of Buell Dr.





According to the sign it is pretty well stocked pond!

Well the time comes, I get a call we are leaving to get her at soon.

So I sit and await. We head over and meet up with Bruce Champion. We go through standard introductions and drive over to his house. Where this was waiting for me : )




Scot can;t leave his hands off!LOL
(he is makin sure the S3 bags are all good)

LOW MILES!


Bruce, Scot and myself go through all the extra swag he has that comes with the bike. Stock header, extra seat, narrow lids, etc...

We do the paper work, I hand him a cashiers check and we head back to the factory.



WHAT A BADASS MACHINE!

We get back and say our good buys everyone had to work, BAH! No Gus' : (

That's cool, some ominous clouds are over the horizon so I still have a chance to stay ahead of it.

I take a few pics and head out.



It was a nice trip on the way back, made great time, mileage and only had a little bit of traffic back through Chitown.

Here is a final pic I will leave you guys with.



The only caption I can think of is,

"Population me"
or
"Thank you! Come again!"

: )

Is that Scot Ferguson? If so he is a very nice man. Always so secretive though.....

Toy,
That is seriously cool. As Court said you will LOVE that bike.

I'm heading out in a few minutes to rack up some miles (if my back will let me).
I'v got the day off and I'm itching to get some seat time on MY S2!
