The potato is so significant, that a company in Milwaukee has successfully mass-produced a 2-cylinder internal-combustion engine to match the sound of its name.
I,d bet they are losing a significant amount of sales without that option. I use cruise a lot more than I thought I would. Just to be able to give your right hand a break, and to set a safe speed in a questionable area. With a powerful bike like that, I think we all know how easy it is to inadvertently vary your speed. Hit a small bump and you're 20 mph up!!
Ive tried on dozens of different helmets. I have a fairly oval shape. The only thing that seems to fit is Shoei. And frankly, I dont see what people like in Arai's. Ive tried on probably 6-7 Arai's, even had the rep measure me and fit one up to my skull. Uncomfortable, painful, and cheap are 3 words that come to mind.
The only niggle so far is the beach is cloudy, so no snorkeling. The price paid for powder white sand, calm surf, and you can walk out a couple hundred yards from shore and still only shoulder deep!! Incredible.
So, we just arrived at Secrets CapCana yesterday. This might be our new go-to. From what ive seen so far, im smitten! What a phenomenal beach! And the place is just a couple years old, so its really, really sweet. We'll see how the week goes!!
Tappan lake has some nice spots, although they have torn up some of their "primitive" areas and turning them into full hookup RV spots...ripping up big sections of forest, pretty sad. Have you tried Jefferson lake SP or Barkcamp SP?
I've done that 4 times on a bike. Yes, it sucks balls AND wears the center off your tire! Rode thru eastern Kansas in record heat (109) that day. My rear tire was a sticky, gooey worn-out mess.
I'd certainly be at the back of that pack! Slow, green and old when it comes to dirt! Not gonna do much technical stuff either (steep, Big rocks, deep sand...)!
Pretty spoiled with the 340+ mile range on my GSA, but I'd love to lose all the weight, shifting, clutching, noise, power band, vibration, heat, exhaust pipes,...the list goes on...with the internal combustion engine.
