An update:
As of yesterday, I now have 3045 miles on the Journey. I just got back from my run down to see my son in Hampton, Va. I did The Outer Banks with all that sand, the tunnels that are the norm for the roads around there, and the twisties on 33 in W. Va. and 5 and 6 in Va.
And the verdict is:
A+ in every catagory, from glass smooth pavement, to rough, from sandy / dirty concrete, and even some lite snow covered on Skyline Drive @ 4600 ft. I never had a single worry going into a corner or slowing her down.
I think this one is a true winner, and I'll get pics tomorrow, wear is barely visable right now, and the edges are holding up very well also.
Hope this helps, ride safe all,
Greg
