Very nice! Yes it was lovely here today as well. I took a 120 mile round trip to Oak Island, NC from here. Took the scenic route through Calabash, Sunset Beach and Shallotte then 17 north to 211 over to 133 and over the bridge onto the island. It was a most rewarding ride.

Now up to 300 mi., and more confident (and gradual) stopping. Though my front forks are mighty soft...even for my 140#.

Re: Ted's GZ250
 

Remember to ease off the front brake and apply the rear more to compensate just before a full stop. The front end won't do the nose dive thing. Learn and practice stopping and "ONLY" putting down your left foot. Read Proficient Motorcycling and you will learn all about the front end geometry and how it effects your stopping. Left foot only, it really works and you will stop more smoothly.

In my MSF BRC that is the only way you were to stop..left food down only.

Re: Ted's GZ250
 

I stop left foot down only, as a rule. I use the right foot to hold brake on so light stays lit, and there's no rolling if any hill. I hold clutch in until I see the light's about to change, then I manipulate clutch to slip point and apply throttle while releasing clutch for a smooth take-off... Usually. :)
