Thanks guys. I did some final tweaks on the bike today and fired it up for a ride around the hood. WHAT HAPPENED TO THE BRAKES? Nothing, but I've ridden nothing but a Ducati with dual radial Brembos for a year. I have to recalibrate my braking. Next week I'll go for a mellow ride with my kids, and ramp it up from there. I think the biggest issue now may be overcoming the mental block and fear of crashing, as I never have been sidelined for so long and been told my shoulder is like glass.
Steve,
I've been telling you for years now to come out and do the Rattlesnake enduro. Its not especially difficult, and the trails are great and don't get beat up. Not as many rocks as eastern PA. Have you put the SM wheels on that pumpkin yet? Last week, Craig and I rode from my house to Lake Placid, NY and back, 700 miles in 2 days, only a couple exits of northway to bypass some traffic on the way home. It was awesome.
