2 weeks with out the Vision

[zore]

The end of April began by getting the monster and 675 ready for my yearly deals gap trip.  This meant new plugs, oil changes and air filter cleaning /replacement.  I also had a wedding to go to in Arkansas which ate up a week.  What this really meant was, no vision riding. 

No biggy, I have a 2006 triumph and my monster to roll around deals gap with.  Fun Fun Fun.  Except for riding with Lucky, i'd hardly given my R5.5 any thought at all. 

I got home and decided to ride the vision after having a little incident on the 675 that Monday (another story).  I honestly did not remember the bike running this well.  It's been about 43-47 in the morning and the bike just runs fantastic at those temps which leads me to believe it's running a touch rich given how it's mood changes when the temps start to rise.  With that said, I forgot how much I liked riding that thing.

After being hunched over sport bike style for the last 2 weeks or so, it was a refreshing change.  The steering is so light and the seating position just perfect for an early commute.  Flick on the heated grips and I'm off.  I wish more bikes had characteristics like the vision.
