It's the lag I tell ya!
Fill the house with bees.
I was fortunate to ride CDG's new wheels in NorCal a few weeks ago on a great road for long enough to get comfy.......outside of the lag, it's a very
impressive package. Not the kick in the pants muscle-car like torque of the 14, but a quick glance done (if you dare) under acceleration, and it's clear
the bike is VERY fast....deceivingly so.
Wind management is excellent for a stock bike, handles a 140-180 pace with ease and simply does not feel like you're hustling along like you are....maybe
the speedo is faulty, lol!
Helluva bike for sport touring, 100% legit.
Big block V8 14R versus Supercharged V6. I can't really think of a better way to put it.
DON'T STUFF THE CAGERS!
more importantly.... where is the Nor Cal trip report?
it's queued up right behind the Western USA circle tour report... right?

Here's my rendition of our report from the WIHO 1500 - It was fun. It was hot. The karaoke in Loon Lake WA is incredible - we were welcomed by the mayor and the townsfolk. Below were our loose routes:
Day 1: Sumas WA to Loon Lake WA: https://tinyurl.com/y2jlewq7
Day 2: Loon Lake WA to Grangeville ID: https://tinyurl.com/yxjwa9kv
Day 3: Grangeville ID to John Day OR: https://tinyurl.com/y3mqz9jo
Day 4: John Day OR to Ellensburg WA: https://tinyurl.com/y6a3h64b
I'll let the other dudes chime in. Apologies about the thread jack - not that it actually matters anymore....
Right here: It was fucking awesome! I took my front tire down to the cords. DOWN TO THE CORDS!!! Left turns were scary AF. Luckily, Eureka has motorcycle shops open 7 days per week. Attachment 144344

Yeah, the roads were OK I guess. I'd put it on par with a Mission backroads/Harrison ride experience. Maybe not that technical. No way did the roads meet the standard that is the S2S. I'm sure your experience is similar.
lol - that's going to leave a mark
*** every move should be calculated ***
I must confess that I have not yet ridden the S2S this year, so any comparison I could make would be meaninglessly out of date... My bad...

I saw you headed north on Denman this past Sunday morning - did you happen to hit the S2S?
