Hello all.
This is my first post so please bear with me.
I've had my '03 Onyx/Indigo flames RSW since June 7.(2600 miles so far,what a awesome bike!)Been researching this site since early this year and everything I read helped me make my decision. My choices were VTX 1800,Harley,RSW.After sitting on a warrior my mind was made up,Warrior! Got a great price also.(Call me greedy,but I wanted an awesome looking bike,great handling,AND kick a$$ performance!)(Rode a 1982 suzuki 650 for 17 years,59500 miles, great little bike,but it was time for something new.)
Current mods- PC3,Samson ripsaws,AIS block,Corbin DT[for girlfriend]
I live in Wisconsin,so the riding season is nearing an end.Winter will be 2004 mod planning time.(Maybe I'll send some parts to Bismark for chroming.)
I've enjoyed reading and learning from everyone's posts and plan on doing same in the future.
PS. Got my RSW Rider patch today,great looking,nice size.Thanks alot Ed.

Welcome, BigHB1. What took you so long to post? Time to get some pics up in the gallery [/emoticons/emotion-1.gif] I would have bought this bike about three months sooner if this site existed back then.

But, don't put that bike away, just yet. Some of my favorite riding is in the fall (I live in a similar climate). Nice things to look at and more importantly, more cold air power for the Warrior. Add that in with cold pavement and you got a recipe for fun. [/emoticons/emotion-2.gif]

Welcome to the forum. I'll tell you up front, I'm a die hard Minnesota Viking fan, but this is a bike forum and I welcome you. Congrats on a great bike and color choice.

After a couple of weeks in the 50's during the day and 30's at night we got into the 70's today by Chicago, dont put it away yet.

Welcome to the forum

Don't worry guys,as long as the temps don't get too cold(under 45 degrees)I'll keep riding. I'm not as diehard about riding in the cold as I used to be.
I have noticed that the Warrior loves the cooler weather,lots of power.

Welcome to the family! Yes, you definately picked the right color (bias), they did a great job with it. I am in Illinois and also know can see the end of the riding time closing in, but as long as there is no salt on the road, go for it. Just enough time to get a taste of torque and smell of rubber to help you make it through the cabin fever days.

Welcome BigHB1. We are all happy you made the right choice for your ride. Sounds like you've definitely spent some time here as you are already talking about sending parts to Bis for chroming. We will be looking for more posts from you. Again welcome and be safe.

Welcome to the forum BigHB1!! I didn't have a choice to make--the warrior was my first bike. I didn't even know how to ride--just saw it and had to have it.

Welcome to the club! Dont worry about the cold days, the bike will love it and you will too. [8D]

Welcome aboard. I usually ride until the temps go south of 45 degrees. Then I just sit in the garage and look at it for a while. Stay blessed. [8]
