More often than not, I'm riding it like I stole it whether the road is straight or twisty. My right wrist has a mind of its own.

I hit it Hard geting on the Freeway, real hard. It's important to let the cage know I am in the mix.

After that I just get in line. Main thing is too remember your on a MotorCycle. No one can see you. The power on is real quick. If you forget for a moment how fast 90 mph is for a side glance your screwed.

But Man, what a rush, nothing like it.

I love it all! Twisties, long straights, crusing the boulevard, long rides down the highway with no particular destination in mind... It's all part of the motorcycling experience. There's a "ride" to suit any type of mood you're in!

Love to cruise. Espessally on nice scenic wiendy roads. Love to tour on my sporty. Thats how I have her set up. For comfort and pleasure. She will still pin you back in the seat when needed. I love to cruise along and be able to see the sights while I am traveling. If I wanted to scream from place to place, then I would have bought a crotch rocket. Oh yeah.., If it starts raining, I keep going.
