First highway ride; still grinning

[lizmcg]

I went for a short (unfortunately) ride at highway speed for the first time just now, and all I can say is :bowdown: WOW! This wasn't the freeway, just a regular road, but WOW! I know I'm preaching to the choir here, but it was so much more enjoyable than riding at that speed on my little Harley Sportster, much as I loved that bike. Shifted like a dream (thank goodness I now know the proper shift points) and handled like one, too. When it got up to 55, it was like sitting in an easy chair watching the world go by---with a tropical storm blowing in the open window, of course, but that's fine. I can tell this is going to be FUN! Longer ride tomorrow.

Sorry for the gushing, but I had to "vent."

Ride time

I got my RT in Oct. 2015. My wife has brought to my attention that the little trips to the store are taking significantly longer than they used to. I hope she doesn't send me to the store for ice cream. The end result may not please her.

I know what you mean (now). I think I'm going to go to the grocery a lot more often. Can you put a bowling ball (in a bag) in the frunk?

I feel that way every time I ryde. When I first got my :ani29:, I had a post about running errands on her just to have an excuse to ryde! I got replies about many folks doing the same thing.

Well, I can certainly understand any excuse, but being a widower and retired, I don't need an excuse. I just get out and go whenever I want to.

Ditto. My errand mileage has mysteriously quadrupled per trip, plus, now I grocery shop for just one item at a time.

That's what Linda said after her first ride. :2thumbs::2thumbs: She became a believer quickly. :yes:
