Default Rode my a$$ off yesterday

Did a 380 mile run to Key west and back to the house, started outr at 6 stopped for breakfast at Roasters and Toasters in south Miami on S Ddixie (Rt 1 South). Had lunch at Hogs Breath (first time there) climed back on the steed and headed home. Some traffic due to the end of the short lobster season, lots of boats being towed. Tested new Zumo, its great, tested the new floorboard extensions from SOOS, they are great. Temp 101 on thermometer. No problems with the bike, at all even in the heat and traffic, no wobble, grinding 5th gear, just a nice ride.

And the forum let me post a long post, getting concerned with all the wobbling, clattering, filter clogging, 08 for 09 trading posts. Just wanted everyone to know someone is having a blast on an 07 clatter trap.

Cool, I am with you. Just rode 412 miles back from Hot Springs Ark. Hot as hot can be. 08 SG everything with the bike was wonderful. Good post, tired of the negative post myself.
