Well , that was fun !

An afternon ride thru the mild twisties available locally have whetted my
appetite . I have GOT to get this bike up to the Ozarks for further testing
. All indications so far are that this is gonna be one bitchin' summer .
This sucker tracks like it's on rails , and response is both immediate and
precise . I used to think I was close to the capabilities of this bike .
Gonna take a helluva lot better rider than me to push it beyond it's
capabilities now . We rode over familiar roads , places I ride many sundays
(beer at one end , home the other) for fun . I found myself taking the same
curves at higher speeds ... consistently . And feeling like there was a lot
more there ...

Hey Nikk , long time no see ! We're hoping to spend a lot more time at our
place in Mtn. View this summer . How far are you from there ?
Shoot me an email with a cell number , my reply-to email address is good .
