First 314 mile round trip is in the bag. I was not prepared for riding on the open highway. I don't think there's anything you can do to prepare for it. For the most part my body feels good. Butt got a little sore on the way out there but didn't on the way home. No problems at all with my wrist or hands. I do have some soreness in my shoulders from riding in a full tuck. I found the crosswinds and turbulence were not as brutal tucked over the tank. I was wearing my riding backpack with gear so that certainly may have added to the pain but it was worth it. I noticed too the bike was most stable at speed doing 80+mph. Anything under that and the wind really had it's way with me. 52MPG! I'm impressed by this machine.
