Default First run

Finally had the chance to go for my first run ( ever on street bike ) . I am so hooked ! Put around 75km on beating suburban streets and 2 lane back road . Bike performs beyond my expectation - felt amazing . wife is laughin because I wont shut up about the ride so just had to tell someone that understands .

Wasting your breath here brother.....nobody here understands a thing!!
But enjoy! That's what we do! Just watch for the idiots and ******** on the road. It's a jungle out there. Keep your eyes constantly moving. Should still enjoy yourself!

And also welcome to our world!

after a long day of work a little bit of road time is like drano for the brain - decompression time - mental medication
