Good luck with your surgery and renewed vision. Much joy headed your way with the new bike.
Finally finished the assembly of the V20. Dialed in in for the fit. The new adjustable head rest is the Cats Meow so comfortable for my neck. I have had two fusions in my neck.
Now I have to wait a couple of weeks to ride it due to eye surgery. I got to stop going to the doctors cutting into my riding time

Best of luck on the surgery. I've had a V20 for almost 2 years now and am probably obsessed with it. The best thing to do initially is to break down your training into discrete steps and skill learning sessions. Important skills are coming to a safe stop, making a safe and predictable start, knowing how tight of a turn you can make without hitting knees on handlebars (if you have tweaked them), slowly increasing your max speed, not going too fast downhill before you have a lot of experience, always using your rear view mirror and looking over shoulder without causing imbalance, always gearing down and popping out support foot before a stop and others. One skill I use a lot is left-foot starts and turns. Because I have a low bullhorn handlebar I have to keep one leg out of clip during slow speeds and slow turns. It all becomes automatic after a while.
Thank you for the tips. I have noticed I have an easier time in my starts than I do on the S40. Doc said I can ride easy so tomorrow doing loops in the park. As far as going down hill we don't have hills in Ft.lauderdale FL
Hopefully I will be up to climbing in November I have been riding the Horrible hundred In Mt. Dora for years can't wait to try the V20 on climbs
Thanks Sonnybea
