M109R, highway ride, 4th of July weekend

[@stephenjstoddard]

Smooth ride

[@StiffHands]

do you find the need for 6th gear as most people complain?

[@FoxHollowWoodworking]

I never really understood that complaint. You can be in the 5th at highway speeds that can already get you into trouble, and barely touch the throttle. 6th would be good for long smooth highway rides, but this is not Goldwing. IMO M109R is made to enjoy low end torque, like if you decide you wanna pass somebody it is happening OK.
