    I had the new clutch installed on my 2013 back in the fall of 2014. It was a great improvement, well worth the cost.

    Hello from Michigan!

    Hello, Matt. Enjoy your new ride. I agree on holding off winter as long as it can. So far, it's been good riding most every day here in southern Wisconsin, so let's hope you have the same in southern Michigan. Enjoy the new bike.

    Avocations other than the motorcycle

    Besides riding my Super Tenere and VRF 800, I run marathons, doing 26 marathons in the last 12 years. Also I drive and maintain a 1917 Ford Model T touring car that I restored in 1990.
