Brighton, TN | If I ain't careful, your gonna double my mileage! Not yet though! Wow, so any other issues with the bike? Fix the seat yet?
I plan on reaching that mileage but it might take another couple of years. |

New Bohemia, VA | yeah, I see that, it runs around a grand when it's warm, I just started it. As far as issues go I think the clutch is starting to slip. I will go back to ma Vic semi-syn just to see if I notice a difference. If I do I'll keep my money there and buy stock. If not, I'll replace the clutch soon and stay with what I've been using. I just notice the slipping coming on to the interstate at full throttle in 3rd and when I went to 4th it seem to fade into gear, I didn't like that especially when the cager was try to keep me from getting in. How do I know? He back off after I hit the flow, but he was still trying to over take me even though I was doing 80 and still accelerating. People can be so stupid.... |

Green Bay, WI United States | When merging, snap the Vision up to around 100 and you will merge very nicely. Anything below that allow the SMF in the cage to have a shot at you.....

Wichita, Kansas | I've had the same problem. Heavy bumper-to-bumper traffic running 75, and no openings except one several car lengths ahead of where I was, so I cranked it. But when you do that, make sure there's not a LEO writing a ticket at the end of the acceleration ramp. When I passed him, merging at 100+ he looked a bit peeved. All he could do was point and give me a threatening look. Luckily, I never ran across him again. I think he would have found a reason to write me.

New Bohemia, VA | Out of all the 7 years in the saddle I've been pulled once. I'm not using the word lucky because I don't live off of luck, nor do call it anything else, except, I've never been pulled. I can share countless "caught dead to rights" where I got the stern look, etc, but last year takes the prize so far. While rolling some backroads, great backroads from PA through MD and WV I was in a rhythm. I was on a 55mph road with a lot of twists and turns when I rounded a bend on a straight topping over 75mph. I see brakelights come on about 1/2 mile down on a car on the side of the road. I roll off a little, the brakes come on again, and then again. I rolled off to the posted speed limit at this time and find it is one of Maryland's finest. I waved as I rolled on past into WV and crank the throttle again.... |
