Shorty:

Glad you had a successful trip and visit with mom. Not sure about the Trouper....you would think as long as you were riding slow and careful he would have understood what was going on. A few weeks ago a woman friend of mine was given a ticket by a trouper who was parked about half on/off the road and all the cars going past had to go into the other lane to get around him...he had been sitting there for a long time with his blue lights on.....she was in about a 3 minute line of traffic waiting for their chance to go around him. As she tried to go around him he suddenly pulled out without a signal and there was a truck coming toward her....she had a split second to decide what to do and she hit the gas to get by him and back in her lane. The Trouper pulled her over and then wrote her a ticket for failure to yield to him. Luckily she went to court and they threw it out as she has been driving 30 years without a single ticket. Most Troupers are fine....this guy was just not justified in giving her a ticket for his mistake to signal that he was done sitting and ready to pull out in front of her.

I did my first long ride yesterday. I left the house at 5:20 AM and rode with only 2 quick gas stops until 10:30, and then on the way home we too back roads and rode from noon until about 6 with only about 3 stops and I went about 560 miles total.....my but sure was tired near the end of the day!

Now you have the confidence in your bike to take it on long trips!

Someday I will be old......But not today!

I hope you had a good trip. Bet you were tired and probably a little sore after being crunched up on the savage for that long. Did you do anything to the seat or just ride the stock seat?

back from mom's (16hrs round-trip)..
I slowly rode around and between cars to get to the exit, a trooper saw me and tried to exit but was jammed up in traffic.

Glad you made it there and back. In California bikes can ride between cars on the freeway. I've driven in that traffic in a car and watched bikers do that and it freaked me out, especially the way people change lanes.

I like it when I get to put faces with names... course I don't have a great memory, but takin' pictures and putting names to it helps....
