Very nice Ain't nothing like getting some wind in the face. Glad you were able to get out and ride after back surgery. When I had my surgery in 2012 it was absolute hell waiting 6 weeks before I could ride again.

I road a lot in my 20's but had a serious accident and it was over 9 months before I could even think of riding again. Between that accident (older woman pulled out from a 2 way stop) and other close calls I just couldn't get back into riding. Still kept my endorsement just in case but just never felt comfortable about riding again, I did come close to losing my foot from the accident.

No but I am doing some work on it getting it ready for cruise-in season which starts April 3. Changing up the muffler setup and doing some ride height adjustments. I lowered it about an inch last year but that was causing some issues with the rear suspension getting into wheel hop on hard acceleration. Rear lower control arm angle changes for worse when chassis lowered. So put it back to a stock ride height which had no issues.
That thing called "the instant center".
