Hello from Florida
I came home yesterday evening with a 2009 Candy Diamond Red / Pearl Luster Beige Nomad with about 4300 miles on it. This is just my second bike. My previous bike was a Suzuki Boulevard C50 on which I put a little over 52,000 miles in about 2.5 years. I use the bike for my daily transportation, regardless of weather. I am wanting to do more long distance riding including more Saddle Sore 1000's. I have done one so far (all in Florida). My goal for the SS1000s is to get a SS1000 pin for each state the IBA offers. This bike has had the heat shield retrofit done to it. In spite of that, I am surprised how much heat comes off the motor compared to the C50. Is it because it is a bigger motor? It was in the upper 80's when I test rode it and brought it home. I am wondering how oppressive that heat is going to be when our summer temperatures return? I am looking forward to participating in this board.
