THE SPARROW STORY
A Casual Drive
A recent sunny afternoon seemed like a good time to take the Sparrow out for a little putt and see how things are holding up. Mike took her down highway 25 south which is a popular road with local motorcyclists. Highway 25 offers some nice open road combined with some twisties towards one end, but for the most part is flat without large hills to climb. Here’s how the numbers looked on this trip:
