settling down

Riding down to the H.O.G. meeting last night and going my usual way (a ten mile route to do four!), I really noticed that the bike is starting to feel more a part of me each time I ride it.

It's not any one thing I can put a finger on and say precisely what's changing. It just feels better each time I'm on it.
I have read that it can take thousands of miles for some Harleys to really settle down and all the parts to bed in. I can believe it and can't understand anyone who changes their bike every year or so. I'm looking forward to me and the bike maturing (getting old) together.

I have also decided on the luggage bag I'm going to get for camping. The Kuryakyn, Gran Tourer bag is expensive but from what I hear well worth the extra money and so I'll wait 'till I can afford to buy it. Until then if I need a bag to go camping with I'll bungee on a rucksack.
