Last weekend I was still working on getting the break-in miles on my bike and hubby wanted to ride it. He really liked it, although with size 14 boots he had a bit of a problem shifting the bike. He actually makes the bike look kind of small in this pic, but I know it's not.

We rode out to Bartlett Lake, but we couldn't really enjoy the curvy roads because there always seems to be lots of LEO's and people hauling boats on that route. The lake is looking fairly low but that didn't stop lots of people from enjoying it over the Memorial Day weekend.

The good news is that I got my break-in miles in, I got the first service done today, and now I can have some FUN with my bike! This upcoming Saturday we are headed up north for some twisty (and cooler) roads, taking 89 into Prescott for lunch and then continuing on 89 over Mingus Mountain into Jerome, Cottonwood, Cornville, and maybe Sedona if we have time. We're spending the night in Jerome at the haunted Connor Hotel, and I'm not anxious to experience any ghostly activities but it was the best hotel in Jerome we could find short notice. I'll let you know if we see any ghosts, LOL.

On a side note, I did something with the bike that was an accomplishment for me - I got it up on the center stand by myself! I was never able to do that with my other bikes. The Concours and the ST1300 were just too big for me to get them up on their stands, but I was able to do it with this bike. Oh, I think I got the ST up once, but it was so hard I never did it again. Anyway, just thought I'd share that with y'all.
