Importantly, that new bike will have new tires, which can always be a little exciting in the rain. Consider rain mode, be extra careful for those first miles, and (most importantly) have a great time on the new ride!!!
Bike had 83 miles and a previous owner when I got it so there's been a bit of scrub-in on the tires already. Had barely slept for the past two days I've been so excited; and a lot of that was anxiety over riding it today. Got it off the street and into the parking lot without falling over so that's one ride behind me -- haha and yes turned on Rain Mode before I did it. I've mentally entertained too many scenarios of me wiping out just trying to get it into or out of the dealer parking lot dancing through my head.
