What great country to ride your R3. I've made many a trip to Napa, Sonoma, Sacramento and even Folsom ( no, not the prison ). Enjoy yourself riding and on the forum.
May I suggest shelving the CAT first. You may find that is quite satisfactory...for awhile. I like it myself; and, I run headers on my pseudo-cruiser. And, I imagine you're quite a bit older than I eh, what did you say. I have much the same Tourer.
