Just wanted to say hello to everyone here and introduce myself as I will be here for a while. My name is David and I am now an owner of a Demon Black MP3 500. I am in Los Angeles so if anyone is in this area give me a hahla. I have spent the last 4 days going through about 60+ pages of the forum checking out what everyone has done and experienced with your own MP3's, so I have a pile of questions and also overwhelmed with ideas of what I want to do. My wallet is trembling with fear right about now and my wife already is probably contemplating taking away all my cards and access to accounts. Kidding! She already did. Razz emoticon

Welcome! You made a wise choice. As I said before, there are two addictions from having an MP3 - riding them and modding them. Both are great.

Thank you both I feel the mod itch in a big way kinda scary. One of the mods I would love to do is what you did jerryw with the blue ground lights not sure if it was spendy but would love to do that. I think you have them on the back of your license plate. Question do you also have them under the bike shinning on the ground?

Welcome, macrobat! Boy are you gonna enjoy yer new ride and hobby... I'm pretty new myself here and have a Demon Black 500 like you, too, and already completely addicted. And I really, really, really like her (think I said that before )

I have found this forum to be an invaluable tool as well, and I totally agree with Jerry - "there are two addictions from having an MP3 - riding them and modding them"... not sure which I enjoy more.... ok, riding of course, but still

Have fun - that's what it's all about!

Welcome, Macrobat. Hope you'll enjoy you're MP3 as much as we all have.

Be sure to read the 2nd topic on the MP3 Discussion page, (hose rubbing issue with the 500), and other PM topics.

More $ saved on unscheduled repairs = more $ for gas and Mods!.
