Having come from BMW's this was my first trip of any real length (over 600 miles) the CONNIE performed flawlessly and I couldn't be happier with my NEW purchase!
There was one thing I noticed with my Throttlemeister when in OD the bike seemed to run out of steam on the least hill or strong wind. ie: Speed would drop! I started thinking (I actually do that sometime) maybe the OD is too high a gear to try and use a manual throttle control with? Maybe 5th would have a ltl more GRUNT and be less accessible to hills etc. Now if I run the interstate in 5th my engine is going to be turning more RPM's so anyone have thoughts on this and have you noticed it on trips?
Regards
