My baby is home, kinda long

Well after another sleepless night, three hours, finally caught my flight to Penscoloa Fl from tampa, nodded out on the plane for couple of winks, the gentleman who sold my new to me 04 white wing, pick me up from the airport and we went to his house to get the bike, so we get her all loaded up, and go over everything, do a preflight, and we exchange our good buys, and I thank him again for all he has done to make this a smooth deal.
I am off at about 08:30 central time. Make a quick stop top off the tank, head up the blvd to I-10 and OH MY GOD ! does this baby rock and roll or what, the power is amazing just get her into forth or fifth gear and hang on, what a rush, and now I know I made the right choice, she sounds like she has a super charger, and runs like she has one too !
I head east down ten, crossing some river's and bay's and the weather and the sights are picture perfect, did I say I was so impressed with the power, and she also handles very well ! being she weigh's so much. I must be just the right height and all, as she fits like an old pair of levi's.
I make my first bathroom break at rest stop, swing the bars to the left, and go the lock position, and while she is still running push the reverse button in, the previous owner felt that it would help in case some one would try to load her up on trailer. After I take my break, and walk around a bit, its time to hit the road, throw gear on, put key in, turn on, hit starter, nada, check kill switch, and key again, nada, scratch head a bit, oh yea reverse button is still in, da ! will this was to be the first on many rookie mistakes of the day ! lol
Became a little board with the super slab and since I am not on a time limit I head towards Panama beach, another rookie mistake, traffic and so forth, not much to see, so I stop for a quick burger, and then get on the road, only to deal with tons of traffic, soooo I head off to the little two lane highways taking the back route to Port Saint Joe, and this is wear the view gets much better, and all is well, except a few construction zones I get to see the old Florida as she was a long, long time ago, between the homes and water it is a nice cruise, not making much time but enjoying the journey ! Its all good.
I stop for snack and some water about seventy miles west of Perry, and just as I finish, and suit back up, two wings go by, pulling small trailers, one in the back is trike, and one in front is an all white wing like mine, so I bring up rear for these fellow's for the sixty miles or so, til they pull off for fuel and such, I am then almost to us 19, and will be headed south, but its getting kinda late and I push on, and on and on, as I was suffering from the dread monkey butt for the past hour, it seems to have gone away for the time being, so I keep heading south, by the time I reach Crystal river the sun is setting and I need to swap out my eyeballs for the clear type.and the temps are dropping so it is getting kinda chilly, I add a few layers, and decide that what the heck another 145 miles won't kill me, lol and take her on in to Clearwater with out so much as hiccup from the wing, she wore me out, as it is now almost 22:00 eastern time and close to a seven hundred mile day, not to bad for my first trip on a wing, the bike is every thing you guys say they are and more, if you knew my health history and back problems, there is no way I could have made this trip on any other motorcycle . The wing is the best of best ! short of few rookie mistakes, and some monkey butt, it was great ride and I can't wait to do more, thanks again to all who post here, another happy wingnut, winger, wing ding etc....... good night:thumbup::thumbup:
