I've posted these short videos many times before ....

.... but every time I look at them, I understand why I was/am still so fixated with the 1200 Sport.  Wonderful bike!  Certainly nothing elegant about my riding style!  For a 2v 1151cc pushrod air-cooled twin that punches 'waaaay' above its weight, it is a truly wonderful sport tourer.  You've got the wind in your face, with adequate protection courtesy the little bikini fairing, a compliant ride, and a factory pipe that sounds like aftermarket.  Sweet!

It's Ohio State Route 715, about 85-100 miles south of home.  Here's the Wiki link.  Open and click on "Mohawk Dam" and you'll see an aerial shot of 715 crossing the dam (which is in need of some major repairs, per Wiki article.)  Lots of great riding roads in the area.
