I dont think I am gonna be able to sleep the next 48 hours. Self explanatory. Picking up the first Base model to hit Michigan Saturday morning! Gonna put on my GoPro as well and take some video and photos of the new bike. Just bought a new HD Hero 2 last week. Freakin PUMPED! Airborne!
 
OMG! Let me know how it is. I am basing my purchase off your experience soooo let me know!!
 
That's awesome news! I got an email from the dealership in Detroit saying mine showed up in the system. No pick up date for me yet. Have fun and safe riding!
 
damn you .....still waiting for chicago ...picking up from Wisconsin , he did say its close but this is crazy
 
Picking mine up tomorrow as well ! Asked them how early I can show up to get it , and they told me I can camp out at the front door if I want , as it's all ready to go , and sitting on the showroom floor ! ( with a " keep off " sign on it ). Bet they'd laugh their ..... off if I actually beat them to the shop ! After what I'm sure will be a sleepless night , I'll hit IHOP for a big steak omelet , and make it to the shop shortly after they open. Have to work later that night , but start a weeks vacation on Sunday. Perfect timing !

lol Congrats guys....I was there just a few days ago

Now I have to consciously make an effort to spend equal time with my .... haha
 
Congrats!!! I just completed the paperwork for mine and it should be at my house in about a week or so..Pictures to follow.
 
Got even better news. They called me today and told me that my bike was done. Had to wait for the weather to break to do their test ride as it was raining/drizzling on and off all day long. It was a time crunch deal, so I couldnt get a spur of the moment ride an hour and a half away, I drove my car out to the dealer and left it there in lou of the bike. Now I have to get someone to drive me back out there to get my car! But! The bike is more incredible than I could have possibly imagined! I had to keep it below 6,000 rpm of course and I had it in rain mode the whole day. But even then it feels as if it has more power in wet mode than my 848 did. ...... A!!! Seat is a little hard. Thats pretty much all I have. WORTH EVERY PENNY!!! If you're thinking about buying one, BUY IT!!! LOVE LOVE LOVE THE PANIGALE!!! Also I dont have a wife or anything, so I can spend as much time riding her as I want! :p AMAZING SOUND!!! I can't believe the stock exhaust is that loud! Its not a bad thing at all, its perfect! Its not too loud, but not soft... just enough that everyone can hear you that's near. Oh! And I already put 150 miles on it, and my dealer said keep it below 6K up to 300 miles, then ride it like I normally do (I ride it like I stole it! Balls to the wall) I fully intend on releasing the Hulk after 300 miles! This is without a doubt, the sickest, meanest, baddest ..., BEASTLIEST machine I have ever had the privelage to ride! I nicknamed it THE BEAST already, because it really reminds me of one when I look at the design of the bike. I cant believe I own this thing! AAAAMMMMAAAAZZZZZIIIIIING!
