I just got back from a scoot on my '07 M109 LE acquired in February. It's Red Deer, Alberta and spring has not totally sprung here yet as it is likely in other parts of the world. Nonetheless, it was melting all day, and while there is still gravel on the side roads (normal for this time of year), the main roads looked dry and gravel free for the most part. Sooooooo, while it was 4 degrees Celcius . .(39 degrees for my friends below the 49th parallel) I wanted to feel the character of this scooter, . . so I put about 10 miles on it tonight . . by then my face was numb!
I found a couple of things immediately . . 1) I gotta adjust the shifter, I can't get my toe under it naturally . .(I'd be interested in a heel toe shifter . . anyone done this before?) I had already adjusted the brake so that was ok . . .Also would like some Kury Footpegs that are a little wider for my big @ss feet.
2) It's fast, but you can ride it very tamely too . . . a real plus. Didn't go on the highway for fear of frost bite!
3) It's Rifle Time! A quick release windshield would be a plus!
4) Still undecided about the full-face / open face dilemma, but will likely buy a couple f/face helmets for the bluetooth capability. Windshield first though.
5) Haven't put the Trackday in yet . . I have it, but I want to know the machine a bit before I plug it in to be able to tell the difference.
Another two weeks and I'll be eating Hogs for an after dinner snack . . .
Peace!
