Today (Father's Day) I opted for the T-120 to get some miles on the new oil and filter. I gassed up at RaceTrac and headed to Tom's house. The bike was feeling a bit sluggish and didn't want to accelerate very hard. Had to realy twist the wrist to wake the motor up. Got near Tom's house looked down at the speedo and saw RAIN displayed on the LCD screen. 
? How'd that happen? I hit the Mode button and saw RAINROAD flashing, pulled in the clutch and it just kept flashing. Hmmnnn. Got to Tom's put it in neutral and then hit the Mode button and it immediately switched to ROAD.. Well OK then, progress. Rode about 2 hours with cool air and warm sun so very pleasant ride, did 75 miles in all so very nice ride. We went over by Eagle Lake and Saginaw, where Tom and Amy (my daughter) had a house for a number of years. Sadly the current owners weren't keeping the yard mowed and shrubs trimmed. I did find myself missing my Thruxton or Speed Triple on the way back when I passed a slow mover on a 2 lane highway and the oncoming traffic was getting closer thn I liked and the T-120 wasn't pulling as hard as either of those bikes while passing. I also noted the seat was like riding a pine board after about 20 minutes so my ordering a new seat for the T-120 off eBay yesterday should be timely on my next ride. Next weekend I'll be on either or both the Bobber and Thruxton for spins, unless Tom wants to ride the Bobber, in which case I'll take the Speed Triple. It's good to have choices.......
