    Finally got the RC51 out

    With the new KLR in the stable I have been neglecting the RC. Well with the 70 degree weather it was a no brainer to take the 51 out. Holy cow is all I have to say. I had forgotten how much fun it is to have some horsepower under you. And the riding position took getting used to again. It felt great though. Looking forward to some group rides up north this summer!!!

    ...and its amazing how easy it is to put that power to the ground with a real sprocket...and not a wave rotor!!!

    It felt like a rocket ship since my last 1000 miles was on a 35 horse power bike and yes the new rotor helps. RC almost has 19,000 miles on it now. Its getting old.

    OT you have been talking about that ride forever...I should be in.
