I felt like a Giraffe on a hopped-up unicycle stuck in the carpool lane.

haha, good imagery

Was I really going 85? Not sure. The speedometer was probably off by a just a little bit.

I've found that bike speedos tend to get increasingly inaccurate as speed rises. The speedo on my Tuono reads about 4-5 mph faster than actual speed once the 60 mph barrier is crossed.

I'm really enjoying it. The air-cooled Duc motor is something every motorcyclist should experience. It's got great mid-range power and the sound alone is worth every penny.

it surely does look sweet -- I thought about the paul smart but I put too many miles on a bike in a single ride to be THAT uncomfortable.
