Hey everyone just wanted to share my first actual road trip on the gen5. I started in hinesville ga. Went up to Savannah then Atlanta about 4hrs. Talked to a buddy i was deployed with now stationed at campbell thought wth and rode up here to Tennessee. Bike is amazing im due for my 4800mile service now, only issue is the damn seat thing harder than concrete i had to stop about every 100 miles or for a good stretch, Also riding position was giving me hip pain think its time for a rearset were time i had to sit on the tank for leg stretch. Besides those to things awesome. I also have a rossi III rear tire pretty good tire there were 2 moments where i got in and out of traffic got aggresssive lean angle and felt the tire stepped out, besides that okay got caught in that storm in nashville wet riding was amazing to say the least it was really coming down had TC on 3 then went to 5 was still able to do 75mph in hov lane no slip no slide. Definetly built confidence in wet conditions. Next stop im thinking virginia but head back south to visit family. Thursday settting up a trip from GA to NYC. Stay tuned for that. Oh my front tire is still the oem battlax mileage is at 5036 still life on her will be switching to a rossi III when time comes hate not running a matched set.
