First ride of the year, and boy did it feel good
And this is the first time I have been able to say this in more years than I can remember, no back pain, no wrist pain, and most importantly, no numb fingers!
Hail be to the great Carpal Tunnel surgeries!!!
I got in 52.6 miles, did a nice loop around Conesus Lake
I was a tad concerned when I rode the first 1.5 miles to get air, shut the bike off and got a whiff of radiator fluid, but no evidence of leak, and clearly no cooling issues
It's something I'll look into in more detail later but I ran it up to 219-degrees in the driveway and the cooling fan kicked in as normal and I can't find a drop of moisture anywhere...
I even saw another yellow bike, it wasn't a VFR and we were both moving too fast I was not able to see exactly what it was, but it was no VFR that's for sure
And, when I went through Avon there was a bunch of Harleys parked at a diner, all the riders standing by their bikes, so I dropped down 4-gears and gave them a blast of V4 magical music, and every single one of them turned their heads, boy, do I ever love my Staintune, what an incredible sound it gives the V4, I swear it sounds like a mean little small block V8
CRX-Si came out for a mile or two, but S is still jacked up on foam blocks, I'll give that another week or so I suspect, roads are still questionable around here with all the bridges which they over salt the crap out of

Somebody around here must have just got one of these as I have seen it a bunch of times in the past week, and before that, I rarely if ever saw one
Not my cup of tea, but I guess for some it's the perfect ticket to ride...
