Brisk afternoon ride to one of my favorite mountain vistas. Loving heated grips and seat.

Bought it about this time last year. Put 10k miles on since then. I really like it. The power is addictive, and it handles pretty well. Still working some ergonomics issues (seat, handlebars, windscreen, etc.) but nothing that's a showstopper. Biggest problem I have is how fast it goes through tires. I'm only getting about 3300 miles out of a set of Dunlop Roadsmart 3s. Probably has something to do with my right wrist and the traction control setting.

I sold mine as you maybe know....I put 32,616kms on it in 12 months....lots I liked but somethings I just could get over...
Vibration at 5000rpm (120kmph)...it's a sweet spot for riding for me so that was annoying
The hot start rattle drove me crazy
Paint was peeling off the front rim
MySpin is garbage
But I did like riding it but no regrets so far selling it to buy the VFR1200F

50degF, Sunday, and looking like best day for next week or so…….so got liner back in pants and jacket. Heavy cloud cover like could rain.
Rode up to Muskegon, stopped by the lakeshore near beach for a pic.
THen headed to the river channel, maybe get some pics of arrival of lake freighter (HCJackson, 689ft)
Got there, and it started raining, latch on side bag broke - DOAH- so could not open the sidebag, could not get out rain gear.
Ship was at least another 45 minutes or hour out yet.
So retreated home.
Olympia jacket and pants repelled the rain okay, gloves did not.

Last weekend got the chance to get away for a ride and meet up with some friends, take in some new roads and stop for a break with a view.

Had a few days recently that were 40/50s and rainey.
And a few days in 50s or low 60s, so did get out on those days.
Sometimes looking for occassional fall color tree.
And saw a couple lake freighters going thru the piers/channel
Both of these 600+ feet.

Thanks Grisha. Still haven't given up on the GS, though. Starting working on the head this week. Don't forget, I still owe you and Vanya lunch at Kavkaz next time you're in central PA. Forest roads were a bit greasy this past weekend after the rain.
