Thumbs up Well ....first week down!

7 days, 160 miles....4 dodged dogs, 4 road kill near hits, 1 dodged rat, 1 rain ride, 1 night ride, and 1 happy camper.

motion sickness issue during the daytime resolved due to some advise from people on here (thanks!) ... night time made me a lil dizzy when i got home even though the 20 mile ride was fun. safe or not riding with some ear buds in and listening to music helped me calm down and not be so stiff on the bike... realisticly i couldnt hear anything over the drone of the bike anyways so i figured screw it....might as well listen to some music.

still super pleased with the bike, feel like a kid again with my first car lol. ive decided to pretty much use it as primary transportation and just carry a backpack for whatever i need to get from the store.. looking forward to many more rides

Great to hear that everything's going well for you Sean! Through the good and the bad, there's nothing like being on two wheels.

Welcome to CBRF and enjoy the forums!!

Default Dodging animals

I thankfully have only encountered only one deer and by the grace of all that's holy it jumped out and right back into the woods! Scared the S*** outa me! My bike is EXTRA Loud (animals don't like that so much) and at least I know their run path on that road now, so it's always in the back of my mind for the possibility there will be a next time in that strip of road.

Like the saying goes, "Everyone dies, but not everyone truly lives." Not many things make me feel more alive than riding!
