Allen Rowand Posted June 30, 2011 Share Posted June 30, 2011 After several years of enjoying the RT-P, I decided it's time for a change… so I adopted a new bike: Lisa Bynum's RS now lives at my house! It was completely painless to buy from Russell, and JC Motors got the bike across the country in a week. I did a couple hundred miles today- getting used to being out of the RT "bubble" Still have some farkling to do, but getting settled in nicely. Stupid RS questions will be coming soon!

tallman Posted June 30, 2011 Share Posted June 30, 2011 Nice. I loved my RSL. Carry like an RT, sport like an S. IMO, the best of both worlds. Best wishes. Link to comment
Allen Rowand Posted June 30, 2011 Author Share Posted June 30, 2011 Thanks! It had to happen for a couple reasons. I have a bone spur in my shoulder, and losing 100 pounds of bike makes a big difference. Before anyone comments, I also lost a few myself. I'm also relocating at the end of the year, and I want something with better airflow than the RT since it's going to be warm. Any good roads on Florida's west coast? Link to comment
tallman Posted July 1, 2011 Share Posted July 1, 2011 Depends on how far south. Tampa has a good group of folks and some nice rides outside the urban areas. Farther north and central have rolling, sort of, roads in horse/lake country. Panhandle has more rural roads and some sweepers/rolling loops. Where you moving to? Link to comment
90%angel Posted July 1, 2011 Share Posted July 1, 2011 Awesome! Glad my bike has found a nice new home! I really enjoyed it. Not to sway you at all on the naming, but it seemed like a 'she' to me and her name was Christine, but have fun christening her/it as you see fit! We had some sweet times at Deal's Gap, Utah, Colorado, etc. Enjoy! Link to comment
Allen Rowand Posted July 1, 2011 Author Share Posted July 1, 2011 Somewhere around Tampa… need to see where my wife finds a job. I'll be picking people's brains once I find out where we're going to land. Link to comment

Thanks! I'm glad to have been able to take her off your hands. Definitely a she, for some reason Daphne keeps popping into my head. We'll see how the next few rides go! Link to comment

Allen, how would you feel if someone changed your name after years of dependable service? Don't get her upset now - you never know how she'll react. Link to comment
90%angel Posted July 1, 2011 Share Posted July 1, 2011 Ah, go ahead and change it. New name for a new life! Link to comment
