Just took the Autotrain from Fla to Va, ran down the Skyline Drive and Blue Ridge Parkway, now in Maggie Valley (Deas Gap area). I rode in or above the clouds 60% of the time and was wet 80 % of the time, this did not slow me down at all.
Got a chance to run the Dragon and Chereola loop, ran the bike pretty hard (Very Hard) in the first sunny day in 3 days. The 09 chassie, tires and gear ratio are dead on compared to my 07 RKC which I did a similar ride with in 07. I am very happy with this bike and pretty suprised at how it performed and how hard I could push it. If you are thinkingabout getting one stop thinking and just do it.
