??? That would be some feat considering Kaylee just turned 9 months... ;)

Im sure there will be plenty of coverage, but I will be sure to follow up with my own.

I got it!!!  ;D  ;D  ;D

First impression, while the Empulse looks fantastic in pictures, they just dont do the real deal justice. This bike looks amazing in person. Adam (Brammo) went through all of the bikes features and the delivery experience was top notch.

Not sure if I can mention anything about the dealership yet, but I was excited to find out that its a mere 4 miles from where I work and about 20 from where I live. Doesnt get much better than that!

The ride home was exhilarating, FUN, and kind of interesting all at the same time. I felt a slight bit of discomfort with all the attention this bike attracts, but Im sure i will get used to it. It was just more than I had expected. Of course it didnt help that I was on a very busy road in the middle rush hour no less.

At first the gearing felt a bit odd but after a few shifts, I felt right at home. I did have to be mindful not to pull the clutch at stops, that will take some getting used to.

Overall, I absolutely love everything about this bike and I feel like it was very much worth the very long wait! ;D

Way to go! Your Brammogrin (tm) is just beginning!

I once read (maybe here) that if you park and walk away from your bike and don't turn back around to look at it, you've bought the wrong bike. After several months, I still have to just stand and admire her!

Enjoy and be safe!

Congrats "EmpulseRider"! Get used to the stares 'cause next comes the questions then the pictures... It is kinda cool to be an unofficial ambassador for Brammo but you already had that part down pretty good.

Thanks fellas. I got some pictures coming soon... of the entire lineup. My dream garage is complete! Well, minus a Tesla Model S but the RAV4 almost qualifies. ;)
