    It puts the lotion on its skin.

    That's not relevant to anything, but at least has nothing to do with white wheels.

    Congrats on your new ride. Don't lose her in any of the northeast potholes that have grown this year.

    Thanks Grey, I've got everything documented including photos of the two previous owners with the bike in VA. I love the story of how I got the bike, but i'm going to love putting miles on her even more. Super excited! Thanks for the welcome.

    What a great story! That's a great find. The RWB is my second favorite color scheme since Yellow Viffers rock. Good pics too. thanks.

    that's great story! For a sales man to remember you definitely deserves cudos! If you eventually decide to go with a VTX, you're dead to me...

    Enjoy the ride! and those new saddle bags.

    REEK, Nate Jennings at Frontline Eurosports is forever on my Christmas card list. I would never have this bike without him. As far as the VTX, I couldn't agree more, but i'm so happy that Keith (previous owner) lost his mind and traded my Interceptor in! Thanks for the welcome!

    Yellow IS the fastest 5th Gen color!! I really do dig the RWB. Here are a few examples from the Barber Museum.

    Way to go on a great find! I got my red 07 in Aug 2010 with 1600 miles on it (also after 2 owners...wtf?)......I now have over 33000 miles and still get compliments every time I ride. One little bit of advice...those OEM Metzlers SUCK! As soon as you have it broke in and want to start going fast, you might want to consider upgrading to some PR3's or Roadsmarts.

    Hope you enjoy it for many years to come :)

    Great find!!! Well till the great white frozen north defrosts welcome to the funny farm. You will enjoy this site or it gets the hose again... Love the RWB...As far as the fastest color we all know that the Silver is the fastest.... The only way that the other colors are faster is if the day of the week doesn't end with a "y"...
