Absolutely!
Everyone has different goals, but I try to imagine that each motorcycle I've bought will be the last and do my best to get the most out of it.
OTOH, (gonna cuss now since everyone else is!) I've got a shitty attitude regarding soft paint and appearance. I'm a fucking wreck so even a scratched up B looks good to my eyes.
I just can't waste valuable time worrying about it, she still rides like a dream. I usually ride solo so I don't have to worry about pissing contests on who's got the shiniest bike.
Seen too many vehicles get mashed up by other drivers to have any hope that I'm not gonna come out of someplace and see that a dually has backed over my bike or crunched my car.
Hope you enjoy your wing, shouldn't take much to get used to.
