It's a nice bike, and I bet you will enjoy it. For the height disadvantaged among us I recommend Daytona M Star boots. Extra height plus a super quality waterproof boot all in one.
I was waiting for you to call me soft when I saw you'd posted, given your bonneville touring credentials and the number of long trips I've declined to go on.
Spank. Just try it. What is the worst thing that can happen with the bike (not accidents reason)? It can break down. With the limited amount of roads you have to run an Iron Butt on over there you are never far from help or service. Besides, if it dies you just leave it on the side of the road and not worry about it again.
Now if you were here in Texas I would agree with Saph. Ride only what you trust as you could die before being found waiting next to your bike here.
