Thanks! It's a GPR. Not much to compare it to except my Termi from my 08 I used to have. Quality is really good for the price and the sound is perfect with no droning at all.

nice pictures
at left turns you should not use left side of your lane (not at the beginning of the curve as long as you can not see the cruve until its end)) so you and your bike lean over the opposite track.

Good point, but I can see all the way through this turn. This is the correct line. I have taught Motorcycle safety for 15 years.

Headed to the dragon in 3 weeks. I think I'm going to pull off the center stand for more clearance.
sorry, did not want to offend you, but i see wrong lines all the time, on pictures, videos, youtube and of course, most time in reality.
hard to detect it in a picture

Sweet! Have fun down there. Ride safe! no contributions to the tree of shame.
Funny, for all the complaints about ground clearance around here, I have had no issues. I'm an expert road racer/instructor. I weigh 130 pounds, but I can push a bike extremely hard. Center stand has never touched. Foot pegs occasionally graze, but that's at pretty silly lean angles for the street. I have dialed in some preload on the stock rear shock. That's all.
I guess for bigger guys getting the springs sorted would be key. A lot of it is likely down to turning in quicker. using max lean just before the apex, and never after it. These techniques are key to going quick, and too much lean too late in the corner is the #1 mistake I see in my students.

I've already got a contribution on the tree. After the last year spent only on the track, I'm heading back with way more knowledge and knowing of limits.
At 240lbs I definitely need to get some suspension work done. Just got the bike though so thats on the to-do list this winter.

Oh, dude, in that case, take the center stand off! Alright, hopefully no more contributions. LOL

Definitely not the plan! I came out of a right hand corner on my R1 and as I flipped over to the left the rear tire left the ground.
Needless to say I lowsided it and bike slid off the mountain. Came home, rebuilt, and with that rebuild came suspension.
I now know why they say that setting up suspension is so important. My R1 now rides on rails but it's strictly a track bike now. I caught the disease.
The Strada does great for me so far around Michigan, but haven't hit anything serious. At the end of last year I took my 08 1100s down and had absolutely no issues, but that bike had a far better suspension that was already setup for my weight.

Just installed Ducati Performance front fender (the one comes with HM SP). Kind of surprising to me that a simple "delete" of the fender (visible part anyway) makes the bike look more supermotard compared to the adventure look of regular HS.

PewPewLife,
It was rather expensive even with some discount I had (well it's a Ducati...) but no regrets here. Really liking the "fenderless" look.
toeslider,
Makes sense as that helmet is mainly for cafe rides on my 1966 T120R.
