[Tranquility]

Yes, my GZ turned into "my" GZ the moment hubby signed the Honda papers. :-) And I made no bones about how good it felt to be able to call her "mine". Thanks Water Warrior for your advice (anticipating the next hill, gauging traffic, etc.) Indeed every time I ride, I feel more in tune with the road. I used to get terrible butterflies in my stomach before every ride, and riding in traffic (as opposed to country back-roads) was not pleasant in the slightest. Now, zero tummy flutters and I zip through town with no problem. Lots of caution, but no fright.
