The mechanic at dealer mentioned how smooth it was when I had it in for the 1st valve check. He's ridden quite a few bikes... I've done some long days (LA to Northern Ca, 400-500 miles), droning on the freeway at 80 for hours my right hand has gotten a little numb when I use a crampbuster, but not enough that I take it off.
Oh the joys of I-5... I've done that trip several times on a Hawk 400. One particular one was memorable as it was a long slog up I5 in the wind and rain at night. Not too many fond memories of that one but I was young.
Yeah, I might be overthinking it. I'm glad to hear that a) it's not everyone and b) for some that have issues a simple fix resolved it.
I may still wait for the 2015s to be announced just to see what if anything they tweak (and also for the 2014s to drop in price a bit more).
Thanks for the feedback guys.
Actually, I avoid I-5 with a passion, its too boring. I'll take an extra hour up the 101 just for the better scenery. Last time I came from SF to LA I did all of about 100 miles on the 101, 15 on I5, and 400 on back roads/highways. Took 12 hours but it was lots of fun.
