There is nothing better than riding a bike that is yours.   Everything where you want it and set how you like it.   

But it spoils you...you go for a demo ride on a theoretcally hotter bike and keep thinking 'ok...but the pegs should be half an inch higher and an inch further back...and the levers are too high...and I like a two finger short lever for my brake...and the mirrors are wrong...and it steers too heavy (no BSTs)..and the suspension is to quick to rebound and is too harsh on compression over small bumps...and it might finish the corner better with it's ass a bit higher in the air.........etc.etc.etc.

And then you ride your bike home and think aaahhhhhhhhh.  sweet.

congrats on making it your bike.
