Default 200miles today on new SG

Woop, were were gone 10hrs and did 200 miles on my new SG. Wife on her Softail Heritage, Buddy on his Ultra Classic and other Buddy on a Kawi, we forgive him. We started the HD VA Tour and hit Patriot, East Coast and Whitts and then back to Culpeper. Taking all back roads, 70 degrees and perfect day.

Pros - Reach seat. My little bony rear end never gave me any problems. The seat was very comfortable all day. Great ride all around and really enjoy the radio.

Cons - none

I do need to work on the throttle, it is alot more responsive than my Yamaha. Getting the feel of how it leans, since I sit alot more higher up.

Best day wife and I had riding

It was right around 70 most the day today. I rode mine to work today. It's a 20 mile ride but I put on just under 200 mile myself, didn't get much work done today though.
