The weather was pretty nice this morning here in vegas. I went out on some desilate section of road off the highway north of town. On the way back, from a standing start, I opened her up a bit...was doing almost 80 before I shifted to 2nd gear! When I shifted to 3rd, I felt like I got rear ended it pulled so hard! The tack was up around 10500 (sounded great!). By the time I into 4th a bit, I was doing just over 150 and was running out of road. This bike is awesome.....was a lot of fun. It may be just my imagination but my bike feels faster now that I've taken the reflectors and stickers off! Someone posted that those things slow you down....he may have been on to something there! Sorry about the rambling...just had a good ride today!
