I had to take some video equipment to my stepson-again-at his summer job in a 4H camp. It was a fabulous day for a ride. The Fashion did it's best Sport Bike imitation on the road around the reservoir and handled the curves like a much shorter bike. With some concentrated counter steering it carved the corners easily and only suffered from some of the headwinds slowing it a couple of times. It is fairly comfortable and sitting on it for an hour straight was no problem.
Here's the kicker though. As I rode I passed numerous bikes going the other way. Except for one Gold Wing everyone waved. But. As I rode thru Walton I spotted a guy on a Honda Metropolitan stopped in a driveway. I waved, he didn't. Darn scooter snobs.

We just got back, picked up some groceries...anchovies...a weakness of mine. Then got some oil and a plug for the SYM. Gorgeous day, high 80's, low humidity, coulda kept going but had to get the big SYM ready for tomorrow. Everybody waved, bunch of Harleys, some rotch crockets, and two scooters...looked like 250s.

I was happy that all the bike guys waved to me. It blows the "Unfriendly Bikers" myth to heck.

I had to run into town to get some CHINESE takeout on the 150cc scoot. Once again all the bikes waved back. It restores my faith in my peeps on bikes.
