Well we hit 57 degrees in ohio today so i just HAD to get her out for the first time... I think I'm in love! I put about 50 miles down on some nice country roads. Sadly, I DO live in ohio so the weather will probably change in the next 10 minutes or so... at least I got my fix for a little while.

I have to say I am very impressed with this bike. The riding position, comfort, power, all of it. Couldn't ask for anything more.

Another satisfied Stryker owner. Suppose you will start the mods now.

Great to hear that you got er out today! I had to wait 3 months when I bought mine on 12-24-2010 and had 0 miles until March 16, 2011.

The weather thing might explain why we are having so many flairups here on the forum! LMAO

congradulations!!! Great to hear! You guys make me feel very good about the weather we have here in TX! I guess I am spoiled because I cant imagine being without riding at least every other day!!! Lol

When that mod bug bites, there is no turning back!!!!

Thanks, everybody! Just got back from adding another 75 miles! LoL. First thing in the morning the mods will begin! The bike is WAY to quiet. Ive got a brand new set of drill bits ready to make 8 - 1/2" holes. Next up after that, my PCS lowering kit should be here next week. Then in no particular order: Forward controls, tall backrest (for the Mrs.), and a MS bullet fairing. Also got a line on free powder coating, so I'm just going to have to black out some of this chrome(they put way too much on the '12) and do my wheels black with red accent.

FYI - Most of the chrome on the bike is plastic so you can't powdercoat. Painting is your only option.

the only things I'll powder coat will be the wheels and exhaust heat shields. Other than that it's all flat black krylon fusion.
