Well, I've taken it out three times in two days. Hit Towanda-Barnes road today, a 4-lane rural highway of sorts with a 55 mph speed limit. I'm getting a feel for the bike.
I'm not ready for morning rush hour yet. Might not get to that level of comfort until Spring, but there's no rush. Keep in mind my first time riding on public roads was taking a CB750 for a test drive a week and a half ago!
I know I'll get requests for passengers soon. I'm not ready for that. My friends are really psyched about the bike. This is the nicest, newest motorcycle among any of my close friends. (There is a CB 650, a Rebel 250, and a Nighthawk 250.) This is a much heavier bike than I've ever ridden and I need an experienced passenger to learn that aspect.
I've got to get better at the motorcycle wave. Not a single motorcycle I saw today in town, be it a Harley, a sport bike, or another Honda didn't wave. Even a motorcycle cop waved. (And I didn't even know we had those!)
