It was me who did the spanking. I've got 52k+ miles under my belt with a bigger bike but sold it for the 250. We took highway 245 from Squaw Valley through Badger and Miramonte to Orosi. You'll find back to back twisties there and 10 - 20 mph corners through a good portion of it. Fun road and rode the piss outta that 250.
Jack hadn't been on his 'Busa for almost a year before we took them out for the first time together. I say "spanked" because I know he can walk away from me on that thing in the sweeping curves and straights(and he did before & after that 70 mile stretch). However, these were tight corners and narrow roads.... he worked that pig and wasn't too far behind.
I have been a member of ADV for a long time and there are many there that know me personally. That was my thread, spoken to my friends, in my own way. Please don't take it outta context....
BTW, Jack is my fiance.
