I raised my speed a bit, and WOW. Big difference. Engine is butter smooth, the chassis is happy, and feels almost natural. Still not 100% comfortable, but definitely feels better.
So should we plan a trip through our local hills for the late spring? You can come down the Little Dragon, maybe meet in Bass Lake? I can think of some other local(ish) roads you'd want to do. But you might need a riding buddy that can keep up, I can show you great roads, but I can't keep up, at least, not if we stick to pavement!
