Well, we finally got her all flushed out and ready to ride. So, the seat time begins. Of course I had a filling fall out of my tooth, so have to go to the dentist first. Hopefully I am not sent home in more pain than I am already in. Nothing a nap can't cure, then out we will go on my first ride. Pics to follow.

What, you never heard Foghat's "Slow Ride"? Sometimes, slower is better...

Well, no pics for we just rode around town today. But, man it was soooo nice and relaxing. Took my mind off my tooth instantly. Few things to get used to. The clutch was much larger and took some time to get used to. My hand was cramping at the lights at first, but got better. The shifting was much earlier than a sport bike, but still was nice and went well. There is some fine tuning to be done too. All and all I think it went very well and can't wait until tomorrow to do it all over again.

Maybe the clutch thing is just getting used to using one. On my son's GSXR I think I used it one time from 1 MPH to 122. I have to pull it 5 times to go that fast on my bike.
