2 Up On The Hawk

[bigdano711]

Anyone else have the opportunity to try it? Wife had to get her oil changed and the shop is a couple miles up the highway. The wind was/is really whippin' today, 20mph with gusts in the 30's. When I left our road and got onto the highway to pick her up, I was heading into the wind with a couple hills to climb. Had to downshift to 4th to get up them, but normally don't have to. That was because of the wind. Wife goes a little over 100 lbs, maybe 110 or so. But, with my fat ass, that makes us closer to 400 than we should be. The Hawk did fine on the way home, downhill with the wind at our back and all. What struck me was on the way back uphill, I could not detect a lack of power into that wind. 4th gear, 55mph the whole time, same as when I went up it solo to get her. I was impressed with that little Hawk.
