Nothing I did was ever really good enough for him and he let me know that in no uncertain terms. He was abusive both physically and verbally and I can't remember ever getting even one word of love, kindness or encouragement from him in my entire life. Plus my Mother didn't breast feed me. Thank you Kelli for helping me come to an epiphany concerning my character and psychological underpinnings. You are an angel of mercy... bless you!

Well no shit sherlock, but the point you specifically brought up was highway speed.

This bike is the most comfortable bike I've ever ridden . . . excluding a Goldwing. The seat may look narrow and uncomfortable, but it is nothing like the vinyl covered 2x4's on a real dirt bike. It's comfy. The seat to peg height is taller than any bike I've ever sat on so you aren't all cramped up, and there are zero perceptible vibrations at anything below 65 mph. You get a slight buzz up past 70-75, but it'll hold 75 mph all day long if that's your thing. I like to explore the back roads though, so that isn't an issue. It is much smoother and way more comfortable than a DRZ400.

Nah, nah, nah... if you put the same rider under the same conditions on both bikes, that a decent test of the bike. If you put the same bike under two different riders, under the same conditions, that's a test of the rider. If you take two different riders and put them on two different bikes, under the same conditions, you are testing the bike/rider combination. get it?

Kell . . sweetheart . . . if we ever get a chance to meet up, I'll gladly let you take my bike for a ride.

I'm 99% sure I'll be going on a Gap trip here in a couple of weeks if anybody is in the area . . . June 18th-20th.

I'm not frustrated, I'm just pointing out that two different riders on two different bikes is not a test of the bike.
