Officially Broken In
Finished my ride last night with exactly 500 miles on my new XL1200 C. (OK, I had to ride around the block once to get it to turn...)

Now I can crank her up...oh, wait a minute! The bike is broken in, but I'm still a newbie.

I know...rubber side down.

When my brother picked up his new 07FXDC last November, we picked it up at 8am and returned at 5pm that evening for his "free" oil change and 1st service.

If I did that on the Sporty with stock seat, I'd have to have my butt changed as well! (My Corbin should arrive today!)
