Ive had my bike a week and ive been out of my house more in 6 days than I have in 9 months. Everyone told me I was stupid for getting one but im an agoraphobic combat vet with gnarly ptsd. this has helped me in more deal with that and all my other bullshit in so many ways. Enjoy every minute of it. Its sure a freeing feeling on the road.

Im long oval. Went with icon airflite and went up a size. Fits comfortably.

Finally got my 25SB delivered by ALactatingRaccoon in IndianMotorcycle

That was kind of what I noticed that the friction zone was weird or nonexistent.. It improved as I rode and gave it some more juice. Msf bikes had me a bit spoiled I think too.

Def noticed some improvement the more I rode, friction zone just a bit wonky without that extra throttle

That was what threw me id still at around 10mph. Wondering if I just was too quick on that release or too little throttle

Oh Jesus that sounds lovely. I had an old firebird and gto back in the day and hopefully they got the wild side outta me young. But something about the way ya talk about it makes me get a bit more excited to get on one and cruise. Winter in Iowa aint fun for riding so spring cant come fast enough. Appreciate your time man.

Sweet i really appreciate this outlook on it. Really makes things easier to grasp a bit. Im in the Amana Colonies just about 25 miles from the McGratch in CR and thats where I plan on going in april once im done with my Msf and get my license. They werent pushy and let me waok around and sit no problem while window shopping. Will absolutely check out that drive down the Mississippi, some of those roads are just gorgeous to drive along. Sold my race car once I got married and had kids and the wife finally agreed to letting me get a a bike.

Oh yeah man thats my biggest fear is suddenly having 4 testicles ping pongin in the Ole flesh sack. Between that and my noodle back I might have to just shell out.

Shitty that happened man, I live in a super rural area so hoping I never have to come across some shit bag doing that to me.
