Moderator..............haha, nice to see you here again

It's the lag I tell ya!

 

[CHIA]

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.

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. View 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

I must confess that I have not yet ridden the S2S this year, so any comparison I could make would be meaninglessly out of date...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?

When you're tired of seeing supercharged Kawi's at every Starbux, up your game!

Unfortunately it was sold after Frank passed away.

RIP CDG.
