Well, did the trade this past weekend.
Bike is in incredible condition. After detailing it I only found one very small paint chip. I'll be ordering some touch up paint for that.
The exhaust sounds amazing and the look of it is growing on me.
I must say I like the bike more than I thought I would. Very comfortable riding position.
I've already found a few things I need to change, starting with the grips and pegs. Can't stand the ones on it. They are practically new but are butt ugly to me.
Also going to upgrade to LED lights all around.
But first it will need a new front tire.

I loved the Africa Twin but found that I wasn't looking forward to riding it like I do my Harley.
The tall seat height was the biggest turn off. I had to stand with only the ball of my left foot on the ground when stopped in traffic. That can a little disconcerting.
Can't see why ADV bike manufacturers think all their riders are over 6 foot tall.

I'm actually in very rural WV but the fire roads are closed to motorized traffic. So that leaves dirt roads and a few reclaimed surface mines.
