You caught the (smoked) oversize wind screen! Another concession to winter
riding and the 80 mph legal (real closer to 95 mph) speed limit in much of
Europe.

Boy am I jealous of your speeds in Europe!!! I am so paranoid of driving
with "some speed" over here in the US what with the fines and the points
that get added to your license, and the drivers here in the US are
generally so bad compared to how the people drive in *most* of Europe.
My feeling is that here in the US beaurocrats are putting many many signs up
all over the place, to try and counter the lack of knowledge and good
driving habits of people here in the US. Just look here at the many signs
that are up all over the place.
When I have driven or ridden in say, Germany, I have felt much safer, even
when going much faster in Europe. I just felt that I could trust the drivers
much more in Europe than here in the US.
Just some thoughts!!
Love your bike!!!! Great "contest" too, good way for us to learn. Thanks.
