Weaver412 Posted March 13, 2016 Report Share Posted March 13, 2016 Heeeeyyyy, after a traffic weaving (kinda fast pace jaunt) , I caught up to Jacob and we made it to columbus. My ass is sore, my feet hurt, which only means I had a blast. Thanks for the invite and looking forward to many more great rides. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wojo72 Posted March 13, 2016 Report Share Posted March 13, 2016 I'm jealous. I only got out for about 45 minutes to take a quick run by the lake. Celebrated my Son's Bday with a late lunch at Texas De Brazil. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not to chilly in the morning or the evening, and perfect mid day. No incidents, good little route, and good peeps....and it's early March. It's rare in Ohio to get an 8 month riding season, but we're off to a good start. Jonathan, good riding with you buddy. I'm guessing you'll find this thread; so welcome to OR and great riding today. Tim and Jacob, hop to see you guys out again soon. How are you feeling on the CBR? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's too smooth. Too precise. Not enough character. Still an amazing bike, and the C-ABS is awesome. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blitz Posted March 13, 2016 Author Report Share Posted March 13, 2016 Route was 83 to 78 to 377 to 550 to 555 to 676 to 339 to 60 to 83 back north. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean, I've said it quite a few times since I picked it up from you. It is by far the best handling and most nimble bike I've ridden. And the suspension is excellent. I didn't know it was possible for a sport bike suspension to actually cushion road bumps and then become rigid when necessary. It's just great. And I love how the C-ABS settles the rear when hard braking into a corner, preventing the nose from diving. It's like I don't need the ABS for the lockup prevention. It's more useful for how it helps control the rear through the front hand brake. But it's almost too perfect. I was loving the throaty growl of those Italian V-twins. I have a friend that has a Gen 2 Aprilia RSV with the Bol D'or paint scheme that is interested in a straight up trade. He is looking for a track bike. I'm going to check it out and see if it's something I want to do. It will be hard to get rid of, what I feel is, a perfect sport bike in favor of something that will inevitably have mechanical problems. But I do love those Aprilias. There's just something about them. Character. Here's that photoshopped pic from yesterday guys.
