Smile A million miles on 2 wheels, now on 3!

Just picked up my new 2012 RT Limited from Pro-Caliber in Longview WA two days ago, great people to deal with. Actually my wife and I went up there just to take a demo ride 4 days ago. Sat down with Jim Holley to discuss the bike. This led to an offer that I could not pass up and it included taking my 2008 Honda VTX1800T3 in on trade. Granted it had a lot of aftermarket goodies and it was a lot of fun but I was ready to try out 3 wheels. I just got tired of dragging around 2 wheelers (about 25 of them over the years) for more than a million miles.
Long story short, drove it on one day, picked it up 2 days later, started the licensing process 2 days after that. Now waiting to schedule the skills test which is only given on Wednesdays.
Just finished cleaning the RT from all the mud and water spots from the ride home from the dealer (pouring and freezing cold for 50 miles). Turned on the grip heaters and that made all the difference!
Anyway, I'm looking forward to good times on the RT but not looking forward to cleaning all the nooks and crannies on it again.
The bike is so stable my wife is ready to start riding with me again and that is a good thing.
Any feedback on aftermarket goodies sites for the RT would be appreciated.
Thanks, hope to see some of you on the road.

Welcome, RG!

The cleaning of the nooks and crannies is entirely offset by the amount of fun you'll have on your new toy!

Not the one to give advice on farkles for the RT, I ride an RS, but the guys will be around soon and give you all sorts of things to start your wish list!!!

Got pics?
