Okay, I picked up my new Sprint Saturday morning after riding a cruiser all summer. WOW! Then I made the mistake of riding with a cruiser guy on Sunday. Stop and go. Stop and go.
Each time I eased off the trottle, my arms jammed into the handles. And believe me, there was a lot of easing off the throttle. I was starting to doubt my decision to get the Sprint.
But more aggravating, my family jewels! God, I started asking myself what am I doing wrong? It can't be like this for everyone otherwise no one would ride this bike. Or there would be no kids in this world. REALLY.
So then I left him and went for a long, great ride by myself and all was right with the world. Smooth baby, smooth. Awesome feeling. And the boys were happy now.
But the doubt of should I take this bike across the U.S. is there. I'll give it another 1000 miles or so to make up my mind and I hope to talk to a lot of bikers with similar style bikes to see how they handle it.
I came to the conclusion after just 375 miles, that this bike needs to move! Keep out of the cities. Hey, maybe there is no perfect fitting bike for me. In the meantime, I hope I adjust. (In more ways than one!)
