Tested in Moab, Great Decision

Well I took my new ride to Moab, UT for the first ride of the season and decided it was a great choice. Between being about 30 lbs lighter and much more responsive it is a win, win deal. I could really feel the difference in weight and handling in the deep sand we rode in. The kind of sand that you need to get up to about 40 mph to get the bike to stop being so squirrelly.

I'm also really happy with my Acewell 3200 computer. The Vapor/Vector Temperature Sensor works great and so much neater install than what comes with the Acewell. Rather than having to cut the hose and clamp the sensor in line, you just screw it in the top of the radiator air bleed screw. Having a temperature senser made me realized that I needed to pick up the pace on some of my riding. On the second day I was feeling pretty tired and the bike started to over heat in the sand. By picking up speed the temperature dropped almost right away.
Moab was some great riding. I'd highly recommend it for those of you who haven't taken the trek. I am somewhat biased to Idaho mountains, but it was a nice change and great opportunity to ride before trails open in Idaho.

I mapped the rides on my website, check them out: Moab, 7 Mile Rim; Steel Bender and Fins & Things.
