My srt-8 just arrived last night! Picking it up this afternoon. It was originally ordered in late August 2006. Seems like it took forever. Took it for a spin as soon as it came off the truck. Rides great! I was worried that the suspension would be too stiff. It wasn't that bad. Granted when I hit some bigger bumps it was on the stiff side yet when cruising along the bumpy highway it wasn't so bad. I was actually quite surprised how smooth it could be, especially considering it was like -25 C.
Anyway, just looking for some time to kill before I pick it up. I've been reading this site for a couple of months now and it has been a great source of information. Thankyou everyone!

Welcome to the OC. I've got 500 miles under my belt, and still loving every minute of it.
Look out for the mod bug!

Exactly, but welcome and Mod away. I have to go to trois rivieres to pick up a new motorcycle but am not keen on putting 1000kms on my baby for the trip (plus no hitch yet). If you make it Toronto way and feel the need to help with delivery, let me know.

Enjoy the ride!

Thanks for the welcome! I'm now on a mission to find some snow tires for my ride. I've been reading other posts for a while and it seems most are choosing the Pirelli Scorpion winter tires. They don't have any at my local tire shop. They will call back to let me know if they could get me a set. I would rather fit some 18" wheels but still haven't found any that would fit. I've read some posts but haven't seen pics to back it up. I'll keep on reading!

Thankyou. I'll be looking into this wheel and tire combo this afternoon. I'll feel a lot better once I've got some winter tires on.

dre77,

I posted the 18" Alba solution. Are you in Montreal? If so, contact Frank at Lazer Auto, on Henri Bourassa. He's a good guy and he'll hook you up.
