welcome, from N Va.
If you're ever in the area send a Pm. Great roads around here in western Va & WV.
Last year I rode my Vstar 1100 on some weekend trips with some sportbike buddies of mine. I got tired of dragging pegs trying to keep up, and ditched the Vstar for my o8 Feej. The next trip, on the second day, my buddies were no longer looking back to see if I was keeping up. THEY were trying to keep up! AND, I was carrying some of the gear they couldn't handle! LOVE this bike.
As said above, take the time to get acquainted with your new bike, and then don't look back. You won't be disappointed.
There is tons of info and good advice here. Enjoy!
