Hi John!
I just got back from a 440 mi rt up the coast to Triumphest and back-just me
and Nigel. I regularly drive on the highway-out here it's really the
quickest. I only limit myself to the road conditions and if I'm feeling
lucky! (Lucky that is, if there's alot of CHPs around.)-I regularly do 70
without any problems. In fact, Nigel is quieter and smoother after 65! (I
can actually hear the radio!)
Laura G. and Nigel
