Yep, looks familiar. Still interesting to listen to.

My problem with road tests by southern California testers/editors is, they view everything from the high performance/road racer/twisty road perspective. They take it out for a day covering maybe 100 miles and do Angels Crest or some other twisty road, stop a bunch of times for photo ops, and then proceed to tell you which is the "better" motorcycle.

Yeah, good point. Why not review it using the potholes of Motown, MI? ... and in the rain!
