I am really not concerned about what Moto thinks of my ride. I love my bike. It does exactly what I bought it to do, looks nice, and it's mine. If Moto feels like he got burned by the sales person, then that is a whole other discussion. Some of this thread is getting off topic. The question was, and ...

Kal

Kal-That's what I have been doing lately--just getting on the bike and going places on roads that are within my comfort zone.

Another newbie-learnin fast
