You have cruise?....if you tell me you have reverse, I'm gonna wonder where your white tennis shoes were
All bikes have reverse. Just some use foot power instead of engine power.

That's when I was rolling down 4 with my arms out and maintaining speed.

Showing off my cruise control.
I don't think no hands would impress you much.

DR owed me dinner and it was a last minute decision to take the bikes....if it's any consulation, I did think about you when DR was whining about there was a 10% chance of rain (he put his rain gear in his bags
)

Did not. I was praying for rain so I could see you in a wet t shirt.

you should have mentioned this before I chose a dark blue shirt to wear...kind of defeats the purpose

I rode maybe 45 Min on a Suzuki 100 w/auto clutch ...
went out and bought an used RM 250 for $ 500
had the jug bored, put a new Piston and Ring in, [ring broke and trashed the piston, the seller told me it might need replaced] and rode the piss out of it for 2 seasons ..... 3 sets of handle bars 2 brake assemblies, (yes I laid her down a couple times) and a new front brake cable and Sprockets and Chain (drop a tooth in back added one in front, gave her a little more top end) ... Oooo what fun 
Ride Safe .......

Just revisiting this thread to jog my memory of the advice and tips given...
Unfortunately, it seems that the "at the end of the month (May)" estimate I got from the Atlantic Cycle & Power sales rep in Great Plains translated to "I don't know when, if ever, the bike will be in".
I decided to put a deposit down at Honda PowerSports of Crofton a few weeks ago when I realized I better not risk missing out reserving one from their shipment coming at the end of June- good thing I did this because the bike still hasn't come in stock at Atlantic Cycle & Power. Not sure what's up with this Waldorf dealership, weather they're just a low priority on Honda's distribution chain or what.
Earlier this week I went up and filled out all the paperwork and paid for the bike as soon as I got word from them that the Honda CBR250R shipment was on its way- I've squared away all the paperwork and have my bikes' VIN number et al... just not the physical bike yet... while probably unnecessary for me to do, I needed some legally binding peace of mind to quell my paranoia about not getting my bike until its too late and I miss out on the majority of the riding season. Anyways, I have more confidence that what I've been told by the Crofton dealership is accurate- the bike is en route and should arrive early this week!!! I'm crossing my fingers for Tuesday.
It's going to be a pain though because Crofton is like ~1.5 hours away whereas Waldorf is more conveniently located.
Waiting this long has been killing me... a few more days won't hurt. It's just been depressing watching all the riders out these last couple months enjoying the days of gorgeous weather.

I appreciate the offer, but again, I don't feel comfortable enough riding the bike back even with an escort... especially since it would mean riding a good distance on 301/Crain Hwy.
Also, one hesitation I've with accepting such gracious offers to help from people here, is the uncertainty on a date and time of pickup. Speaking of which, still no bike. While the Crofton dealership does a lot more effort to give me answers, my patience is wearing thin.
Anyways, going over my game plan for picking the bike up myself, I realized getting the bike ONTO a pickup/cargo van at the dealership shouldn't be a problem (I'm sure the dealership folk would gladly assist me) but once I get back home... there's the whole issue of getting it OFF the pickup/cargo van by myself. While the bike is relatively light compared to some bikes (~359lbs)... I'd rather not risk dropping the bike unloading it from a pickup or cargo van.
I don't have any wooden planks or anything since I live in an apartment. Meh, just went out and bought 4x ratchet tie-downs, looks like I'm going to need to buy something to roll this thing off the pickup truck or cargo van.

Would THIS face lie?
Be careful...Those things will get away from you....Remember you are trying to roll the bike down a small board that may be 12" wide and you are walking down too...Doesn't leave too much room for a foot or 2....I have a small trailer with a drop down gate that works great if you want to borrow it....
