Default Finally took a ride.....

Haven't had time to take the RR on a ride longer than the 15 minutes to work.
Was very concerned about the riding position, being 51 years old and having had a broken 3rd lumbar vertebrae 33 year ago that's now arthritic.....well, got out for an hour and a half yesterday and was very surprised at how well the old body here handled the ride. The back didn't hurt at all, but the shoulders and neck started feeling it towards the end. And, of course, the bike is stupid fast, as ya'll know !!! What a rush to ride. I don't see how anyone with a sport bike doesn't have multiple tickets, it's nearly impossible to not twist that throttle every chance you get. I maintained pretty well, but still had to sneak up on triple digits.
Whole different ride than my Harleys, a blast, but would sure get me in a lot of trouble if I'm not constantly keeping myself in check. !!!
I used to race Banshee's years ago, I love speed !!!

Its about time you quit Posing at Starbucks..........The Question is this:

You have keys to both bikes. Harley or Honda? What one do you throw a leg over?

Good answer! I have 2 different 'styles' of riding based, on the wifey-poo's
presence, as well.
