Great bike, too, Barry! I told Tim I'd just take it partway to the overlook, but once I got going on it, I knew it was doing the full round trip. :lol: It handles great and has gobs of smooth power. I really used only about two gears the whole way, because the powerband is so wide.

That says a lot Jim. I last rode one 20+ years ago and vaguely remember it being OK but on flats and around a neighborhood does no justice.

I'd even take a RD locally for the right price. CL is a regular watch for me. :thumbup:

Cool,
My RZ ran better this year than it ever had at the GAP.
