I just got my new-to-me wee and I'm so excited all the time. I made my official introduction in the Strom Sisters forum but I can't contain myself. At work I'll just randomly smile and decide to go peek out the window at it. I have always loved riding but this bike is just so right up my alley that I'm suffering from perma-grin.

I hope yall remember that feeling and I hope I keep it fresh in my own mind. Dang I love my bike.

Is that why everyone spends so much dough on farkles? ha! I'm guilty... had the wee less than 7 days and made some, um, permanent adjustments.

Here we are enjoying day 6 together...hahaha

I know exactly what you mean. I put a picture of it on my desktop at work, and a colleague commented that my eyes kept drifting over to the picture while I was supposed to be talking to him. I assured him that the wee is much more attractive...

The picture of my bike taken as soon as I pulled into the driveway the day I got it is on my computer background at work. It gets referred to often as I talk about it often. It does help to look at it during stressful days at work.

I understand completely- even though I ride to work every day, the commute is never a chore or anything less than sheer joy, thanks to my trusty bike. I find a way to keep it interesting...

Whenever I ride I am always amazed I own such a cool bike!
Congratulations and ride safe.

I'm commuting into work thinking "is it legal to be this happy in traffic?" Nah, but I am the only one smiling as we all rush & scramble to each red light up ahead.

Yep, I'm getting that "whoah I have good taste in motorcycles" as I zip around. It's fantastic. Glad that part will continue to last.

The one thing I would really love is a way to drink a cup of coffee. That's what's missing from my commute. Who here is an engineer (engiNERD) and can hook that up? New farkle alert.

I've put something like 73K mi on mine and I still love it. In fact, I'm going out for a fun spin this afternoon.

73k? Awesome!

This morning I thought "aw man, I have to take my laptop and extra stuff to work today so I'll have to drive....OH NO WAIT this bike has LUGGAGE!" hahahaha heck YES! Got my laptop & bags & extra work jacket in with no issues.

I still think I might be breaking some law being this happy on my commute.

What's the plus- minus on how many times you go look at your Strom from the window at work? HA.

I know exactly what you mean! I'm just past two weeks with my Wee (my first bike) and I still stop and stare every time I walk past the front window.

Yesterday was a slow day at work, so I said "To heck with this, I'm going for a ride!" (Ah, the benefits of a family business and working from home. )

I have had my Wee for two seasons and I tried to "seriously" think about selling it for a different bike or just buying a second bike and I can't do it. This bike is just too much fun.
I don't have a picture at work, instead I just look out the window being I read daily. I am know as the crazy/hardcore mototrcycle rider who rides in all weather.
All co-workers have put their bikes up for the winter.
