...there's sand and salt and ice on the roads, it's cold as hell...and I don't care: I'm riding, Dammit!
Well, about 20 miles is all I could stand, but it sure beats staring at the bike, wishing.
Stopping into my Parents place just to make sure they
know I'm nuts:
Hi Dad (had to do a drive-by):
This bike is the
coolest thing I have ever thrown a leg over! There are some clean roads and I got to have a
little fun - the top triple clamp has a habit of approaching your face very quickly in the first three gears! It handles like a dream...it feels just like a really big dirt bike (maybe cause that's essentially what it is?). It steers very light and as a whole feels
very confidence inspiring. I can't wait to put some miles on this thing!
Oh...the suspension is
amazing! I hit some bumps in a road I ride a lot, and on the 749, these bumps were
brutal. I saw them but didn't feel them on the Katoom. I'm in love...
Wish you were here, Bill!!
