I am in the club with a new bike

Hello all,

Earlier this week I found a bike at Parriott Motors in Saint Helena, California. The shop was an hour and a half from me, but it was the only place I found with an in stock bike, relatively close by AND sub 6K out the door (good for California). My wife and I made the trek today and picked her up. I was very happy to see a green one in person for the first time and it looked better than I thought it would. and extra bonus was the nice "0" on the odometer.

My wife does not like the green bikes, but she loves the red ones. We are set to get her a '22 red 125 next weekend. She and I will use these things for occasional commuters, runs to the horse ranch where her horse is boarded and Sunday morning rides to local California Delta eateries. I am anticipating lots of fun with them. It was also very clear to me the younger lady of the house was very happy with the bike too.

I am going to enjoy the bike as-is for awhile, but I will also be keeping my eye on mods and add ons.

Good times!!

Welcome Fishwishin!

I know you're running the bike as is for a bit, so my biggest suggestion is if the shifting gets a bit weird (sticks, or difficult), look up the automatic clutch adjustment procedure for your bike. That's the first adjustment I did, within a few hundred miles of ownership.

Additionally, make sure you check the oil, there's some reports that some arrive low from the dealer.

Congrats! I wish I had waited for a Green one myself, but I waited 9 months for my '22 and at the time we didn't know that they were bringing the Green to the states for '23 MY. I wish my wife were up to riding with me like that, I'd go out and buy a second one in a heart beat. Make sure to post up pics on y'alls adventures.
