First Ride Ever!

[Mscb1100_imp]

The weather cracked the 40degF mark today so even though there is still snow on the ground and the roads are so full of sand its like riding on a beach, I decided to chance a short ride to my Honda dealer to pick up a rear suspension spanner. I'm coming from 15 years of riding big-Twin HDs so this was a quite a shocking experience. The sewing machine-like purr of the motor and quick throttle response had me zipping around in a delightfully controlled and gentile manner. I loved it! I'm a big guy and I was pleasantly surprised by the power of this bike. Love the view I'm getting from the upright taller riding position (compared to a cruiser). I can't comment on how it corners because if I had leaned over in a curve I would have slid out and this would be a different message all together.

One thing I did note is that I need to adjust to these non-cancelling turn signals toot sweet or me and this bike will never see its first service. Had a couple of drivers start to pull out in front of me before I realized that I was riding straight with my turn signal on.

Check out this device. I ordered one earlier this week and hope to be able to install it this weekend.
