Zug, congrats on the Blast. I was never really a fan of the bikes, mostly from an aesthetic point of view, but I do appreciate their somewhat unique engineering.
Yes, it was 80 yesterday, but today's high is 57. Then we also get 4 days of rain. I am getting tired of these April showers...
As for highway riding, I understand the capabilities and limitations of the 200. The section of highway that I ride is more of a bypass, with fairly light traffic and 55mph speed limit. I feel comfortable riding it for the short stretch that I'm on it. I can easily tuck behind a car or truck and ride in their draft at 65 mph without problem. I do appreciate your concern, though.
The ride in this morning was even better than yesterday. I am noticing a bit of front wheel hop, so I need to check the balance and tire run-out and probably replace the fork fluid. And I need to get those risers installed...
