2nd ride this year 1 Year, 1 Month ago  
it was short but sweet 30+ miles is it just me or does any one else love grabing a handfull of second gear? It just seems to pull so freakin hard and sounds great. Oh well just waiting on warmer days,only 50 hear today but lots of sun and dry clean roads.I know all us damn yankees are ready for warmer days and long rides

Glad you got to get a few miles in. Won't be much longer before the warmer days are upon us. I hope to ride tomorrow, suppose to be in the 60's.

The torque and pull seem endless. I went out last weekend for a ride and just cleaned her up and she is ready to go for a ride tomorrow, mid 50's. Hopefully get my brother and brother-in-law to join me. Never thought the snow would go away.

Feels good to scratch that itch, doesn't it!I've only ridden twice myself. And I think I like 3rd gear the best!!

Glad you guys got to ride finally. It is 91 today and only going to down to lower 70's one day then back to the heat. Texas goes from winter sort of to summer real fast.

Re:2nd ride this year 1 Year, 1 Month ago  
Got mine in too!

Had the tranny recall done and the dealership says it needs a tank with seafoam run through it

Told the wife it was the doctor's orders...

tweaked my new tire alignment I did myself (thank you RSC) before the ride and she tracks straight and true hands off

Picked up a new air filter on the ride installed it and adjusted my idle.

Baby runs great!

Come on Summer!!!
