I flew out to pick up my 2000 F4 and ride up to Moto Gp... but was having SO much fun riding in the canyons in Malibu, that I sold my tickets to the race to race the twisties myself.
After a week of getting to know this bike, I rode the 3,100 miles home.
(I have a 748 Duc that I did a CT to CA and back... 7,200 miles, last July)
The bike had 16,000 miles on her when I started and ran flawlessly all the way home.
Going through the Rockies was a blast! I only had the nerve to get up to 130 mph, but NO drama! this bike wanted to go faster. I was pulled over shortly there after, which was a little concerning as I had the license plate from my 748 on the bike (I couldn't regester the F4 until I got it home to CT) Fortunetly the trooper was a nice guy who just didn't want me to fly off into the desert never to found by anyone other than the buzzards and gave me a warning.
It's good to be home and out of my leathers!
