Victor,
Altho I can't see the lovely warning stickers that were plastered in four different locations on my bike, I am assuming that they are there and am wondering how you and/or your dealer tend to handle them. My dealer said it was my responsibility and I spent hours picking away with my fingernails, credit card, every type of solvent known to man, before they were finally off. And my first attempt at the one placed on the top of the fairing just aft of the black plastic body work left the clearcoat dulled. I gues I could put a buffer to it and shine it up but I haven't tried yet.

Easiest way to take off stickers is with a Hair dryer.  Heat it up and it will loosen the sticky part.

It is a nice feeling that you are the first and only owner.  There is no wondering as to how the previous owner treated the bike.

Imagine how I felt when I bought my '01 in '03 and found out that it had belonged to a...a...a woman!  :shock:

The cootie infestation was unbelievable!  It took forever to finally get it sanitized!  :lol:

I know the feeling. I bought a 2001 Mazda B3000 pickup three years ago that formerly was owned by a woman. Now, in a man's mind, there's nothing more "manly" than owning a pickup truck. So, the thought of mine being formerly driven by a woman was just downright........"unmanly". Took forever for the smell of flowers to dissipate.

Hey, you want to feel really emasculated?  Most of the time the person I see driving a Hummer H2 or H3 is...you guessed it!  A woman.  Was at the Hummer dealer recently and it was all women with kids checking them out.  I had to go for a testosterone shot immediately afterwards.

Hummer = Chick Car

Sad, really.  :sad:

Not really true if you look at what a Hummer is really worth.  I just watched a video recently of a Hummer vs a Quatro going up a snowy hill.  The Hummer tried multiple times but couldn't get up the hill.  The Quatro did it the first time. hhhhhmmmm.
