Dixon, Illinois

It was a really nice day today. Mike and I wanted to do a short ride. He’s in the process of looking for a street bike, but until he gets his own he can ride mine, I‘ve got three of them after all.

We took off toward Dixon, to ride along the Rock River. Mike really wanted to ride the 954RR, so he took that bike. I took the ST3. But a while later we pulled over to switch bikes and for the reminder of the day he kept riding the ST3. The 954RR just wasn’t as comfortable and just a bit over 6’3”, he’s really too tall for all my bikes, since the ST3 has a shaved seat and the 954RR is lowered by 1”.
