Is that a Biltwell Gringo S helmet? Looks just like the one I have. Retro look fits the bike well! Enjoy the rest of your trip.

Enjoyable ride from the dealer to my friends house in PA. This thing is a hoot! Brakes are better than I expected. Better than the one I test drove. I did drag a peg once. It will do 100 easy. Everything works as it should. I can not find the engine temperature gauge.
Tomorrow is a 400 mile day. Heading to the north side of MA.
I will write more then.
So far. love it!

No temperature gauge, sorry.

This thing is the balls!
 
Last time I went to Vermont, smoking in restaurants was allowed.

Heated grips work better than my R1200R. They get hotter and have 3 settings instead of 2.
