Another Monster comes to MN

[J_Allan]

Hey all.  My new 696 will be in my hands this Fri 7/16. I look forward to getting advice on local rides, mods, repair etc.... Seems to be a great resource here.

Cheers!

 

Edit - In retrospect my assumption of "In hand" was a bit hasty. 

I've nothing but positive things to say about my experience with Tom, Benji, Scott, and Tina at MP.

Welcome. Congrats on the new ride  [moto]

[J_Allan]

Thanks!

Looks like I'm still playing the waiting game.....

Purchased in early June - was told 2-3 wks. Then told it would be in last Fri, then was told Mon (today). Not getting my hopes up for seeing it anytime soon at this point. Just want a straight answer from the dealership. Grrr. Feeling a bit jerked around at this point.

So ready to ride!   [moto]

What dealership did you go through?

[J_Allan]

ahh, I'm just bein' a big baby.

Still can't help but feel like I'm part of a bad prom date where she says yes on the dancefloor and then no when we're both naked and ready! 

Haha! All in good fun.

Dealership is Motoprimo - good fellers there. I understand unforeseen delays - just wish they would communicate a bit better as to what is going on.

That's a bummer. Nothing worse than waiting for something like that. They don't have any 696 in stock?

[J_Allan]

They had a few 2009's and an ABS 2010 if I remember right. No 2010 non-ABS though. S'all good. Good things come to those who wait, eh?!
