thanks guys I will check out those routes.  I'm new to the WI roads.

Thanks Ray.  I was sitting on one at the hitching post and actually thought to myself what a pain the bike would be to detail.  I know it's probably a good bit faster than my FJR so it's gotta be a hoot to scoot around on.

I'm late seeing this....  did you already post up a review on the bike yet Ray?  How do you like its handling?  Looks like a great bike, a shaft drive would be nice but that would have added weight.

Nice to meet you on the ride Matt.  That's a nice bike you have it sounded great too.  We will probably continue to poke fun at the wonderful MPG's  it returns to you though.... 

Much experience in my more youthful days with these types of things ranging from speeding tickets to reckless driving charges. 

The speeding tickets are the hardest to fight as there isn't much they can be reduced to,  however in both TX and OK you can take a defensive driving class once each year to negate one minor moving violation, in addition to a fine.  In OK I got nabbed doing 78/55 and I called and left a message with the DA office stating I had a clean record, and I later got something in the mail from them saying they would basically throw it out if I payed a fine of a bit more than the speeding ticket amount, however it's usually never that easy at all.  For the most part down South is easier to work with.  Only some counties in MN will do the In Lieu of Adjudication because many don't have the means to track it if they did. 

Good luck.  It's very difficult to keep a modern motorcycle near 55mph so I understand.  I'm just super wary of police nowadays.  I assume they are everywhere.

Thanks guys have good riding.  Looking to get some good riding in tomorrow, the wife is busy with her baby shower so I have a day pass to have fun.
