Default Cruising the cornfields of Ohio

After 7 weeks of getting back in the saddle me and the wife are having a ball. Ive logged alittle over 2300 miles and she is around 1900. Our longest trip was 325 in one day. My butt is getting more used to the seat and doesnt bother me nearly as bad when I first got it. Im really impressed with her virago 250 the small bike cruises with her (110 lb) 65 mph easily. She even kicked it up to 85 on the interstate one day and had more throttle left. Being only 4'9" the bike fits her pretty good we did set the preload on the shocks to their softest setting and cut away about one inch of foam from the seat. My c50 has been flawless. I changed the engine oil myself and the rear drive oil. No valve adjustments yet in fact my dealer said bring it in when you need new tires that will be a good time to check the valves unless it gets to running weak or gets real noisy. Said he got tired of checking valves at 600 mile service and they never needed it. Any how with the digital camera pointed over my shoulder I took this picture of her on an ohio back road. She took one of me but all you can see is my back.
