Hi from Edmonton, Alberta

Hey everyone.
I just recently bought a BRAND NEW 2015 SD 1290 R. It's now winter here in Alberta and I won't be able to ride it, but just look at it and buy little parts for it all winter. The first miles won't be put on it till about April or May next year when all the snow is gone. I got a pretty good deal on it from the dealer here.
Hoping to put a nice after market exhaust on it and K&N air filter, then get it re mapped from KTM. Other than that, just a few orange bits and pieces.
Never ridden this bike yet, and bought it unseen. I've only sat on one before.
I'm a old track guy and my bike from this last riding season was a 2004 GSXR 1000. Looking forward to this upgrade!!

Welcome to the forum comrade

I have a vague memory of skipping from one warm bar to another in Edmonton. Us Ozzies are sometimes not used to the cold

Yes it gets quite cold here in Alberta! Hope you had a memorable trip here!
But our summers can be extremely nice!

Thanks for the welcome

Welcome to the insanity !!!!!
Do yourself a favor and just buy the full akra system.
It comes with the map n air filter.
You will be happy you did !!!!!!
