    I know the 57 freeway well and it puts me to sleep!

      I can confirm we rarely miss a meal. In fact, most rides involve going to, or returning from food

        been riding a little over 1200 miles now and getting more and more comfortable with corners. Have been doubling most posted speeds for turns when they're showed. Getting more and more fun with each twist!

          Honestly, I felt like my bike is less stable and handles worse all prone'd out like some Moto GP wannabe. I'm glad it doesn't improve riding because it's damn uncomfortable.

          Speaking from a new rider's perspective here, not a lot of what in this thread has been useful.
          You need to come down my way then to find out what real twisties are!!
