Title: Got my Bandit yesterday
Post by: Blue Racer on June 07, 2007, 09:31:00 AM

Got my 1250 w/ABS yesterday.  It had one mile on it.  Just out of the crate.  Put  a battery charger plug on (see plug just below seat) as I charge when not riding.  Rode to the local ice house where 150-200 meet and greet.  Mostly HD and a few others...they looked but not much comment.

Torque Monster :taz:   Smooth  :grin:  This is a keeper. :congrats:

Best bang for the buck.  I will keep this one.  Now have 39 miles on it...guess I had better put a few more on.  Here is a pic, looks like your's... :lol:

My ABS was $500 more, but if it saves me once, it will be worth it.  It adds about ten pounds I think.  A friend of mine who rides 35-40K a year swears by it on his GW.  

I posted last night on the FAQ board, in error, and it seems it was removed.  I learn as I go along.

It wasn't removed, just moved... a few minutes ago.
I moved it to the "Big Bandit Banter" section... but here would have been just as good.

I have since fixed the problem with the FAQ, so no one can make that mistake again.  :wink:

Good looking bike! :thumb:
As Zen said in the other thread, the body and frame colors look MUCH better in your pic that the promo shots.

I guess my journey is truncated. I've been to Luckenbach... I blinked and missed it entirely....

Congrats George!  :congrats: A little different feel from the GW I imagine! I can't say I'm surprised you didn't get any comments from the HD crowd. No comment is probably a glowing review!! Ride safe and keep those impressions coming as you put some miles on it.  :burnout:  :beers:

Nice. The garage is nice too. I wish I had that much room.

I let a Harley rider ride my 97 B12 last week and he was pretty impressed, but I doubt he'll buy one.

Now you've got to remove those stickers. I had success with copious amounts of WD 40, a hair dryer, and my fingernails.
