Today's ride
Finally was able to ride my 2013 vaquero for the first time today.... this by far is the nicest riding bike I've ever owned! I was in pure amazement!! The turning was very responsive to leaning. It really felt like a dirt bike it was so easy to turn and handle! The fareing also came into play and got the bike up to 68 mph and had no idea.... I thought I was going 30! I was truely amazed today and am so dam excited to ride more. What a great bike!!

Dammit... I hate reading these "first rides of the season" posts. And seeing the leaves start curling up & dropping off the trees down here. And seeing the Feijoa trees start to wilt under the load of another crop. And having to put a light on when I get up in the morning... Etc.
About when the Canadians start riding is pretty much the end of another southern hemisphere riding season. <Sigh>
