Lots of discussion about missing the lean. No question after years of leaning throough corners, I miss that feeling. BUT, I do not miss holding my bike up at every traffic signal, searching for the kickstand at every stop, paddling through the left turn at crowded intersection, worrying about every patch of gravel I come accross, wondering how I will fare if and when I have a flat tire, fighting rain slicked roads with about 4" of rubber contact patch and wrestling around 600 lbs when I have to back up. No ride is perfect, but in my opinion, what I gave up is nothing compared to what I gained. Freedom to enjoy the open road with a new sense (but not false sense) of safety.
