Big thing when I chatted with another guy and Mustang they said give it 1000 miles to confirm to your rear end. You will stop sliding once it's broken in. When I first rode it I thought I made a horrible mistake. But now with a few hundred on it it's getting better and better. My issue with the stock as well with mids was my knees were higher than the tank. Only issue with the Mustang so far is I might have to get bar backs. It moved me back 2" similar to the sundowner seat. Measured the old man's Custom with the Sundowner vs my Mustang and I think that's what Mustang wanted a solo clone of the 2 up sundowner. Measurements were near spot on, but with the laid back riser of the custom the bars are more comfortable.

I mash the brakes (abs really works well, my first time I triggered it non purposely) swerve around her and realize the lady is now chasing me. I tried putting some distance between us but she's now flashing her lights and honking at me. I get up to the next cross road where there is a bar, pull off and she whips on behind me screaming ber head off at how I could of killed her. I tap my pocket where my phones poking out, said lady this is and was being recorded. Including you purposely pulling out in front of me. She hightailed it to her car and took off like a shot. Funny part I wasn't recording. Lol then after shaking that off I got a funny shake on the bike on the rest of my ride, so I've got it partially torn apart in the garage tonight. Hopefully found the issue after finding a misfire code stored in the ECU.

Bikes just mad at me I guess, been seriously thinking of hanging up the helmet for good this winter. Seriously thinking of someone came along and wanted my bike, it would go away. Health just can't cooperate enough to warrant having a bike that I ride 5-600 miles a year.

When the car ahead of me finally turned, I wasn't really in any hurry so I didn't really go much faster. At the following intersection, the Jeep sped up and passed me through a left turn lane. Didn't so much give him the finger as I did motion in a "uh... what?" expression. Then caught up at the next intersection where this same aggressive jackass got stuck doing the limit again... behind a Dodge Challenger. Oh I laughed a Schadenfreude laugh at the glorious poetic justice. Heh.

I do miss the lockdown as a rider, though. I prefer the roads being more empty. :P
