thanks!
Thanks for the words of encouragement, Mickey. I look at this just like ski school. No matter how good you are (or think you are), you can always pick up something if you just check your ego and listen. These guys gave us full measure and more -- all we had to do was pay attention and commit to doing what we were told.
Yep, the GS is a big bike, but many years ago I figgered out (while laying in a ditch where an old BSA had tossed me) that anything with more torque or horsepower than I have can't be mastered through strength or size. It takes skill, and that comes from learning and experience. period.
Like you said, eyes up, throttle control and balance are key. Just like swingin' a hammer, if you look at the nail, you'll hit the nail. If you look at the hammer, you'll hit your thumb. If you're not in control, you'll hit your thumb, and if you don't have the hammer's balance mastered, you'll hit your thumb. Every time.
Be safe, have fun, laugh out loud --
