Hey Guys;
-I just wanted to take a few moments and share some thoughts on the Yamaha RSW. For those of us that own one, these points are what I call "Endless Validation". For those of you contemplating on purchasing this sled, ask any member on here and they will more than likely agree with me. So here goes....
-The last couple of days up here in Northern New York State have been everything a rider could wish for. Cool temps (60s), sunny skies and breathtaking fall foliage for the eyes to feast on. I decided to take a long ride up through the Keene, Lake Placid, Saranac Lake area and then eventually on through Paul Smiths to Malone and back around to Saranac.
-Most of you will not know the areas I am writing about but they are mountainous and rolling farm land with some long straights for stretching the throttle cable out. Coupled with incredible views and the cleanest of air, add to that the fall colors which are darn close to peek and it doesn't get any better.
-With the cool dense air, my Warrior was pounding out the "sound" we all love and eating up the miles, all the while providing the perfect suspension
responses that our roads dictate, due to their condition. That and the endless torque this motor provides made for one of the best rides of the season. Which by the way is coming to a fast conclusion. (Maybe another month if we are lucky and brave). This ride started me thinking about all the
things that this year has brought to each of us. Storms, losses, laughs, births of children etc. etc. And how blessed I am in this life and the lessons learned along the way.
-Pretty deep thoughts that were triggered by riding one of the most incredible machines on two wheels. The Warrior with its attitude, power, composure and stance; after being out of production for ten years (in the U.S.) still brings the endless validation to me that I have the perfect motorcycle for the style of riding I enjoy. She will stay with me until I am no longer able to ride. Absolutely perfect.
-Thanks for letting me rant about a moment of zen! I hope some of you can relate to what I tried to put into words. Ride Safe !!
