Above was taken midway through my hastily thought out "break-in trip". Lemme 'splain: After working out the final few details, I decided the quickest (not to mention smartest) way to coax all the new pieces into playing together nicely would be to make a quick Charleston-Asheville round trip. I further reasoned that not setting new Bridgestone Spitfire S11 tread to I-26 would not only alleviate boredom, but would also: make use of a wider range of revs, bed in the new brake pads, and start an ass groove into the amazing condition K3 seat that found me a few days prior. So... a mere 600 miles in two days (and a hundred prior around town
and a few weeks of no posts) later I'm here to report that, aside from a clutch lifter adjustment on the way home, this bike is a scream. An absolute joy. Oil was changed prior and upon return along with "500 mile" tune up.

I still have yet to install the Kerker, which must happen soon as the Mac drags on sharp turns.
