All that’s left is for some one to show me how to ride this 2T thing; I hope I like it…..
Sounds like you're all set. I've got a trials this weekend or I'd demonstrate all the things not to do on a 2t. The biggest change for me was getting used to no engine braking. It's not really a problem, just throws you off when you're used to slowing down when you get off the throttle and you drift instead.
Only other thing that comes to mind is let it warm up a little before you get on the throttle, 2t's can cold seize.

The family that rides together always has someone to tell them why they crashed.
Trying to firm up my plans cuz everythings' happening at once. What time is the first riding wave on Friday? Can't wait to ride with the Rat pack but i might have to bail Sat afternoon
