What an excellent write-up by a guy who has learned to combine two opposing virtues: ability and humility.

SGB, you're an example!

If for nobody else, then at least for me.

Test drove the Adventure on Wednesday ordered one same day should have it Monday, amazing bike incredibly smooth with so much power. within 5 minutes of riding it feels like ive ridden it for years.
