You're actually in pretty good shape to survive the ownership "experience" of your new cycle.
You have race and off road experience, and it sounds like, in spades. Good for you!
A gentle reminder, then. Remember, those first 6 months to a year, those are the times when you need to think very carefully about what you're doing, relative to those faces you want to see again.
Part of the good news is, this cycle you've just bought is very programmable. Lean towards the conservative edge of those programming points (TC, ABS, etc alphabet soup) for awhile. I KNOW, It's HARD. So? You're a tough guy, tough it out, it'll be worth it rather than facing that lovely face across the hospital bed.
I've been away playing with new toys too. I sold the cruiser, not my style anymore. I sold the dual-sport, not good enough / bad enough in the rock canyons I play in now. I bought a 2013 Yam WR450, and I Love It! It's getting the most attention at the moment. Off Road is very cool in the desert SW canyonlands, but I hurt more from dropping it / having it fall off cliffs (got too many stories again, now). Me and the missus went riding up Kitt peak this weekend, her on the Suz. 650 ADV, me on the ZX14R, and we had a great time together on that twisty road up the mountain. Would have been nice to play on a HP4...
Yeah, I'm a little jealous.
