I did ride the Monster again!

I took it out, and it was a completely different beast! No longer the clutch-monster, that terrifies me with it's barely leashed power. Ross changed the setting on the adjustable clutch lever, and it made all the difference. It's kind of cold-blooded, but once it got warmed up it purred, and it handled so magnificently. It is rock solid, so planted in the ground. It gave me great confidence in curves... more so than the CB-1, I have to say. Which shocks me. But then again it is over 10 years newer. It has a wonderful engine note, and I've always loved the looks. Ah, I'm so happy.
