Tricolore arrival this Saturday.

nick1199 · August 1st, 2012, 02:00 PM

Well guys. After seeing the initial pictures of the bike back in late 2011 to seeing the bike at the Sydney motorbike show. I decided to place the deposit back in January 2012. So it has been a very long 8 month wait, almost to the day, but the final day of reckoning has come and I'm glad to report that she has arrived at the dealer and I'll be going to pick it up this Saturday morning.

I think winning a gold medal in London kinda feels like this, right now. After reading all the posts from everyone in their bikes it felt like mine was never going to arrive....

Another 48hrs to go.

Mine arrived at the dealer yesterday.
Did yours come with the dda+gps ?
Mine didn't.

Fantastic! Congrats. And hopefully you can save some of the time and hassle we experienced by having all of the minor nits fixed prior to delivery. Cheers!

Hamish · August 1st, 2012, 02:07 PM

Great news mate, you're gonna love it! Congrats

I've got a 'S' on order that was meant to be here now, ordered early April. Told today its at least a month away.

Dealer offered me a Tri which is available but want to stick to Plan A I think...

Anyone else in same position???
