No pix today, but I did get my first good ride two-up today. Best news: My wife LIKES this bike! She likes the riding position, she says it's smoother than my BMW R1150 RS was, and the suspension doesn't bottom out like my Suzuki thumper!

I'm happy -- the bike pulls well under load, and the handling stays predictable. We had no trouble on either the local roads or a stretch of expressway. I suspect that there's some aftermarket shocks in my future. While it didn't bottom out, there was definitely some pogo stick effect after some bumps. No doubt once I do that, I'll be wanting the progressive springs in the forks...

Hey, we all gotta help the economy!
