Thanks to all of you who posted welcomes. It's encouraging to hear from so many people. This is an active and lively forum which means lots of ideas are exchanged here. I love it. Well, things went far faster and moderately better than I thought they would. I went to the shop (it's a consignment shop, not a dealer) to make an offer and have them hold it for me while we negotiated a price. Negotiations went well and I came prepared just in case, so 15 minutes later, I took possession. I got a 2019 R NineT Option 719 Scrambler with 628 miles on it. It looks new still. I looked up the NADA value on it a couple of days ago and came in well under that cost so I feel like I'm getting a good deal. The firewall here at work isn't going to let me post pics, so I'll have to get them posted next time I sit down for a few minutes. I'm excited to spend some serious time on this gorgeous machine and get to know all of the enthusiasts here. Happy trails
