So, I have waited and waited and finally bit the bullet!  Got the right deal and bought a new Red 2011 Monster 796 with ABS today.
I love the bike and have zero buyers remorse and can't wait to enjoy some of this AZ riding weather.  Anyways, I have enjoyed this website and can now post.  Just felt like I had to tell someone that would understand how I feel with that 1st bike feeling.  (well 2nd bike, but the first was a dirtbike a while back.) Anyways, Glad to be part of the group!

I agree! The first year is all about planning. It's the second year and on that you have to worry about.

I find it disturbing that you're imagining me in a sauna, never mind the teletubbie aspect of it

You too!!?  I found a M1100 on the floor with a few carbon bits and the Termi kit already installed.  Then before I left the dealership, I went to parts and ordered the open clutch cover, mudflap removal kit and a few other small items.  It never ends.

miahendersons:  MUCH CONGRATULATIONS!

Never appeal to a man's "better nature."  He may not have one.  Invoking his self-interest gives you more leverage.  R.A. Heinlein
