It helps when you buy the bike the weekend before your 2 weeks of deployment CTO time starts, you go to work for 4 days then take ANOTHER 2 weeks of regular leave. Everyday was the famous scene from the movie Friday "Its *whatever day it was*, I don't have no job, and I ain't got shit to do" so on the bike i went

I have about 8500 miles on mine in a little over 6 months. I love to ride but has effect when you try to sell your machine.

For what it's worth; I think you can!

I work overseas so ride as much as possible when I get home, sometimes for 8 hours a day and I noticed that my attention span deteriorates somewhat along with my confidence and skill oddlly enough.

When I've worked away for a while and come back to the bike; my confidence and skills are at their best after only a few hours on the bike (In the zone sorta thing)

Just my penny's worth.

i wish i had the time to be on my bike that much, but unfortunately with work and school i have a hard time with that. so if you have the time, take full advantage of it and ride the damn wheels off that thing!!!!
