Funny thing....at first Janyss said the Superduke was as comfortable as the Rockster. So we decided to ride it to Deals Gap in May. Well as some of you know, Janyss is a real trooper. But.....reality hit after about 350 miles or so. I think she really missed the backrest and the big pillion seat. The rear seat on the Duke is TINY, and has a seat lock smack dap in the middle of it. Oddly enough I was the first one to complain about my bottom starting to hurt. We took the highway the whole way there, and lemme tell you, the Rockster, with the Meyer seat was a couch compared to the Duke's seat (I even have the "gel comfort seat" on it). Dont get me wrong, its not unbearable, but definately not comfortable. I've done a few 200+ mile days solo, and the seat was much better by myself than when 2 up. Luggage space is also a problem when 2 up compared to the Rock. Last year when we went to the Gap (on the Rock) we UPS'd a very small package ahead of time. This year (on the Duke), I fabbed up a rear rack to accomodate a topcase, but we still had to ship a weeks worth of clothes ahead of time (which by the way didnt arrive until 3 days before we were coming home). I think Janyss misses the Rockster, but then she gets on the KTM and seems to forget about it for awhile. When I first got the KTM, she kept asking me "Why would you get this bike? I cant believe you got rid of your "baby". Then she got on for the first time. We pulled onto the on ramp to the highway, I hit the throttle, the front end came up, and I was doing 74mph.....in FIRST GEAR!!! We got home, off the bike, and the first thing Janyss said was, "I got it, never again will I ask you why you got this bike." She was still smiling from ear to ear. I definately see another BMW in my future....but for now, I dont think I'd rather have any other bike. By the way, anyone know how far Hungry Mother is from Mohican campgrounds? I will be at Mohican during the time of H.M. I may take a few days off before that weekend, so if any of you guys are going to H.M. early, let me know and I may come down for a day or two, then head to Mohican afterwards.
Beemeridian.....you are a fine gentleman, and I will definately hold you to your obligation of a few beers. Janyss often asks me if I have spoken to you lately and how you are doing. She will always be grateful to you for letting her use your phone to call and check up on her son. Whenever you have a free weekend, let me know and maybe we can meet halfway for a ride and some food.
P.S. I'm a Lifer here, so really...I can't quit
