Very short. I was checking out my knees, wrists, skills, etc. Did a few hard stops.
I gotta admit, the 'Strom is aging better than I.
Oh well, i did get some wind and it felt great.

good news to hear, Wayne. I've been able to ride the MP3 500 piaggio the past few days and the GL 1500w/friendship 3 chair a couple short rides-remember the thieves stole my '49 panhead with sidecar(&only 18kmi) q few years ago. I had forgotten side hacks required so much more attention than 2 wheelers! Trying to make it mine now. Floor boards & heel/toe shifter gone, OEM pegs arrived. Dead pedal associated/w rear brake goin' next. Passenger arm rests removed. Gotta do something with seat soon as I gotta set on the hump to get out of the hole so's I can get my feet up on the levers. Oh well, I'll get it to be mine soon...
Trying to make sense of the system that raises the chair up/down(which changes lean of bike? I can turn the bars loose going straight down the road - so angle must be close?
