Haha I was defiantly keeping an ear out for any strange noises. I road it more to get a feel for how the bike rides as I have not ridden one with the ultimate ultralight tubing. I really liked the ride but this one will probably just hang in the man cave after my cirrus is done as that one is more my size and will be using it for the trailering duties. I do love the look of this bike with the jade green paint and the blue and white decals it looks really racy.
