I see no real problems.......................
Other than the fact that your bike is quietly plotting against you for not 
letting it
out to do what it is intended for, i.e. long all day blasts at high speed.  
You might
want to talk real nice to it, in the garage, and promise some long fast 
trips in the
near future.  Bikes can be very vindictive if you don't give'm what they 
want.

Sprints will commute obediently, but only if they also get to go out and 
have
some fun, now and then.  Quit being such a cruel master, Pat.   :--)
