    Pros/Cons of the 6th gear?

    Just before I moved I made a run up 95. Cruise set at just over 80. Did not think about wanting another gear. Have not been able to get bike out of storage since I got here. Snowed yesterday.  Once I can get out on the long open roads here I will see how much trouble I get into and if I want...

    Pros/Cons of the 6th gear?

    When living in Maine I rarely got to use 5th gear on my 2014. So I never considered the need for a 6th. Now that I am living in Wyoming, we will see. Somehow I don't see me getting a newer bike.

    moving to Rawlins.  The place in Laramie looked like they didn't have anything bigger than a 250cc. The place in Casper looks like they might deal with bigger bikes. All are 100-200 miles 1 way.

    Heading to Groton, Ma

    There are some really nice places to ride just north in Maine, New Hampshire, and Vermont. It is not like out west where the states are large. Here you can ride all 3 of them easily as day trips from Groton. From where I live in Maine it is about 2 hours to Boston and about 2 hours across NH...
