Went with a couple of friends to ride in the Smokey Mountains and down the Blue Ridge Parkway. Ended up doing about 350 miles in Tennessee, North Carolina and Virginia on Saturday. I'm a bit stiff this morning but nowhere near as bad as I thought I'd be. The NSR performed flawlessly except for the near dead battery. Made the ride back to my friends house a bit hairy in the dark and rain. Swapped out bikes at times just to break up the day a bit. Had fun on both an '87 VFR750 and '00 Aprilia Falco but was much more comfortable on the NSR. My friends were pretty impressed with both the handling and power of the NSR. All in all a nice weekend with the NSR.
