We got a perfect day for a ride yesterday so I pulled the LT of the garage for the first time in months. I’m a newbie to these LT’s and only got to put a few hundred miles on it before putting it away for the winter.

The few miles I did put on it last year was spent getting acquainted with the bike so I never really tried cranking it up thru the gears before yesterday. What a thrill! I never imagined this big bike could move like it does. I started form a dead stop and decided to wind each gear out to 6k. When I hit 6k in 4th gear I glanced over at the speedo and was going well over 90mph, I decided not to find out what 6k would get me in 5th. Just had to share the experience with you all, I feel like a young kid again today.

I’m only two miles from the Pennsylvania border, so when I get the urge, I head east. Getting caught in Ohio at that speed will get you a ride in the mans car and your bike impounded, in PA it’s just a ticket and your on your way again.

Glad you mentioned the twisties. I've never had a machine that handles like this LT when going thru them. I'm so used to my vintage bikes where you need to use some Kentucky windage to pick your exit location that this LT is messing with my head. It just goes exactly where ever I choose with no drift at all. It's weird but I'm loving it.
