I did just under 110 miles. Ran short on time and had to get back, otherwise would have kept going. Wind gusts from the south were pretty strong tody.

I put this in the draggy threads the other day but I did a 2nd gear through 4ish pull the other day and logged this 60-130 run, I did have it set to a lower power mode that won’t allow wheelies for safety purposes
You went 60-130 faster than 70% of the cars on the road can do 0-60, ?
I really miss my 04 ZX-10R. Unbridled power, no electronic nannies to keep it in check, no ABS either. 6th gear was useable from 40 to terminal velocity.
Did nearly 200 miles on Sunday going to Dixon and back for Easter dinner with my wife's family. Just a lot of seat time on Rt 30, and didn't get a chance to ride along the Rock River. ?
Do you guys use any visor treatments? I had to stop and squeegee off bugs from my helmet on the ride back so I could see.

I actually used the sealant and liquid carnuba wax for my cars on the visor to give it a good protective film in case I hit rain. Then I carry a little 1 1/2 oz (or so) spray bottle that's filled with detailing spray, with a small microfiber wrapped around it. Bugs and grime pretty much come off with a single mist and wipe, and it reapplies the repellent all at once.
I used to use the same sprayer with water, with a few drops of Dawn dish soap in it. That worked really well too, but took off the wax and water wouldn't bead up or sheet off.

Oh that sucks. All it takes it like 30 seconds of rain, enough to keep the surface wet, and the bike is an absolute mess.

I mean I really see no reason to upgrade to a new 114 bike. If it was WAY faster I'd be more provoked to buy a new bike.
Course, down here with all the hills and people crossing over the center line at the top of a hill, Or, these hill Jack's stopping right below the blind spot on a hill, I ain't in no hurry anyhow.
It's nice not caring to update the 2005.

I also have about a 200lb weight advantage though too lol.
It's just tuned with exhaust and intake.
The Fat Bob would have been a good race for the Warrior. I didn't buy a 850 lb bagger to win any races.

Kind of sounds like you keep talking yourself out of a new one. The voices will only get louder.
I was gonna say, depends on the bike the engine is in. I bet an FXDR would suck the purple off your Warrior, if you want to compare apples to apples.The Fat Bob would have been a good race for the Warrior. I didn't buy a 850 lb bagger to win any races.
You may get there first, but I'll get there in comfort.
