Good enough ride for the part that I was on. Could have done without the trip through Kaneohe though. I almost bailed at that intersection where we went left.

what a nice turn out.

towards the end of the ride, i was getting sketchy. don't know if it was lack of sleep, new gpr, or changing my riding style.

btw love the gpr, but it does feel different.

It's supposed to feel different I suppose but not intrusive. Funny about getting sketchy. Me too. The pre-lim ride went well & I had a good feel going. Same for the first part of the Ducati ride but after we stopped at the top of Norfolk I felt like l lost my timing or something.

Nice that we were blessed with two fine days of riding weather. I woke up this morning and it was raining all over on the windward side.

Not even. Just angling for a semi-unencumbered test ride. I can wait until after it's broken in, as if I'd have the guts to twist it on.
