Up and Over Alsea Falls to Alpine and Beyond

This afternoon, Jordan and I went on a nice little ride up and over Alsea Falls.  It turns out that the center stand on the XS850 is the first thing to ground out when going hot into corners.  I do believe that I might remove it very soon.  Other than left hand turns, I was able to keep up with Jordan’s Duke just fine.  For a 31 year old motorcycle, the XS850 runs pretty darn well!
