    I ride out west from D.C. to a nice rural area west of Middleburg, Virginia. Nice open roads with long straights and fun twisties. A bit of a PITA to get to from my current home inside the Beltway, but once I'm there, I can spend all day back and forth on farm roads doing all my necessary, ummm, "testing."

    (But in all seriousness: it's also been my "proving ground" when I need to tweak my Juicebox settings manually, usually around the changing seasons. Plenty of open space to go flat-out from a standing stop up to a very generous speed to test out performance in all the gears. Rinse, repeat ).

    I can remember when I was a kid, there was Grand Ol' Opry on the radio every Saturday night, but it didn't reach our house until Tuesday.

    I have a nice isolated stretch of smooth straight blacktop about 1-1/4 miles long where I can rip to 100mph if I wanted to. And it's only about a mile and a half from home.

    We also live way out in the boonies where we can basically test anywhere we want to without much worries about LEO opposition.
    Very Happy Spyder Ryder!
