I finally got the bike out and thanks to BaltimoreGS I had someone to ride with. I enjoy the GS very much and I still have a lot to learn, but I feel 10x more comfortable on twisties and the highway. The bike ran smooth and the only negative that came from the trip was the handle bars vibrate like crazy b/c of no bar ends or any type of weight. I'm hoping to get back out tomorrow and Sunday, so I can hone in my skills.
