Howdy-

Just a quick intro- been lurking for awhile and figured it was time to post something. Picked up my blue S10 yesterday from Yamaha Powersports in Longview. The delivery went smoothly and everyone at the dealership was super nice (especially Amanda). Ran into someone who had driven up from Nashville to pick his S10 up as well (forgot to ask him if he was a member of the website). Had a 200+ mile ride home with temps averaging 105. Bike rode great and it took a lot of effort to keep the revs under 4K for break in.

Detailed ride report to follow....love the bike!

From one Texan to another, welcome. I have had mine for a bit over a week and am enjoying it a great deal. I live in North Dallas, you.

Thanks for the welcome, folks! I'm currently in the north Houston area.

Kidder- I saw four other (blue) S10s on the showroom floor all spoken for...one is probably yours.
