[QUOTE="Pale Rider 07, post: 724619, member: 20069"] I got the bike back from the 600 mile service yesterday afternoon and thought I was going to get some road time in...finally. Well the kids had some type of issue that needed my input and there went the rest of my day. So I decided last night to go ahead and move the handle bars back to the rear position (was a breeze...thanks for all the posts) and to spend a little time tweaking the suspension...again, thanks. So this morning I headed out for a nice, easy 150 mile trip in what could only be described as perfect weather. The bike ran great and felt better on the road. The biggest difference I felt from the suspension work was that I was able to maintain my track within my lane much easier. Prior to this, I had found myself wondering a bit and thought it was rusty riding skills to blame. Although I had a few aches towards the end, I can't wait to get back out and let this bike run. One quick observation. I tend to be a friendly rider and will toss a wave to most other passing bikers. I have to admit though, that I was caught off guard a bit when I realized that a couple of the bikes were actually scooters. From the front, some of these things look like sport bikes and it can be hard to tell until it's too late and your hand is flapping in the breeze. Is it right to extend the respect of the brotherhood to the scootering public? I just don't know. Perhaps a poll is needed. [/QUOTE]
