Matt black? I chose those colors hoping that one or two cage drivers might see me. The only other options were red and silver or wait for a (shiny) black one from the warehouse. We all know waiting is no fun.
I rode it to work for the first 4 days last week. On the 5th day there was a threat of rain about when I would be leaving work, so I took the car. I don't want to get it dirty for the first time on a lousy commute!
It is GREAT fun! I haven't been this excited about riding in a long time. I love this bike!
I have been studying Google Maps like crazy planning my ride. I won't go as far as Kentucky I don't think, but I will spend a night or two in southern Indiana.
The reason I am planning my ride (hi vanzen!), instead of wandering about is so I can catch the little diners and the freaky curvy roads that are hidden away here in Indiana. A couple of examples:

Where I will spend the first night (probably): http://www.lanninghouse.com/
Day 2 might be something like this: http://goo.gl/maps/DLkFI
I hope to spend the 2nd night at a "dude" ranch: http://rawhideranchusa.com/Index.html
