After months of my going down many "rabbit holes", today was my first ride and I loved it! I still need to get it tuned which may take a minute as I only trust Gene and TTS and so far they have not done a 121VVT to a 135. In the meantime I am going to get some miles on it and just make "real motorcycle" sounds in my head while the bike puts our sewing machine sounds (yea, I am a very immature 66 yr old when it comes to motorcycles..). It actually runs very strong and I can't wait to see what it can really run like!
