Ride to finish break in on Thrux

I took a ride today with a good friend (HD rider but we won't hold that against him. ) today to finish off the necessary 150 miles to reach the magical 500 mile break-in period. Our route was HWY 276 out of Greenville, SC, through Brevard, NC up to the Blue Ridge Parkway for a short ride on the BRP to HWY 215 which dumps out onto HWY 64. Left takes you towards HWY 178 on your right which will take your through Rosman, NC back down to HWY 11 in SC, on in to Pickens and then back to my Buddy's house in Easley. By the time I got back to Greenville and pulled in the gas station to shut the low fuel warning light off, I notced the mileage and I was glad to be done with that.

We often ignore contradictory information, actively argue against it or discount its source, all in an effort to maintain existing beliefs.
