What kind of bike was it? I hope I keep my second bike that long, which I should be able to…the first bike was bought specifically to learn on, knowing I would be getting something bigger for my hiway riding that I do…my GS500 can do hiway and easily keep up with traffic, but it is out of power at those speeds…so if you want to pass someone quickly, you need to plan it and get a run at them…not really the safest way to ride.

I sometimes wish I had gone with something a little more powerful, but when I think back to the first street ride on my bike after my BRC, I thought it was a rocket and couldn’t see needing anything more…and that wasn’t too long ago…it was a great bike for commuting and going into town (and if that was all I did with the bike, I wouldn’t need anything more), but I started touring with it and that is where it shows it’s limitations.

Later.
