Went on a long cruise with a couple of vintage buddies (and a dude on a crotchrocket) here in Cleveland. It was a nice but rather cool day here. We did about 140 miles total with several stops along the way to smell the roses. It was the longest ride for me on my 550K. I have to say that I was impressed about how smooth this thing runs and how comfortable it was on the highway. We hit a lot of twisties too, and the thing handled very well. I did have a problem around mid-day. The main fuse blew. It happened at a stop. Luckily I had a spare 15A. I'm not sure why it blew, but after I replaced it, we rode another 50 or so miles. Despite being cold and windy, I opened it up on the way home. I'm not sure if my bike likes the cold weather or if it really responding well to the seafoam that I've been running, but it's really been running very well. Sad to say, this season is almost over.
Well, enough of the stream of consciousness. The jist: I like my bike.
