Default First weekend trip with my bagger
Hit the west side of the state this past weekend with my girlfriend on the back. 500 miles of twisty, turnny, hilly, back roads and could not be happier with my bike. Both of us feel great after the ride. A hugh difference from the trips on the sportster.

The Blue Star Hwy and Red Arrow were fairly light on traffic for being a weekend. Even less on the county line roads.

Great to appreciate your bike. That's exactly what the touring bikes are for. Chewing up the miles.
