Between the powder coating, and new bearing and seals, it came out to $105. It was yellow, and I had it powder coated black to match the front tire.

As far as riding, the next nice day, probably Thursday afternoon I may head out. Where do you usually go riding?

Rode to work a couple times, running errands and a quick hop to Subway to grab a sandwich yesterday (it's 4 blocks away but made a great excuse).

No serious riding till I get rid of the hockey pucks on my bike and get used to the new tires (stock tires on a 2006 F4i = breaking the rear loose at 15 mph). Just don't trust the tires atm.

I don't really know too many people around here, so most of the time I am out by myself. My wife's cousins husband rides an R6, but we only rode together once. Just got my bike last year, so been out mostly alone getting used to it.

yep i feel you. To go to the bank is a good enough excuse juss to go out and ride around everytime the sun is peaking through the clouds.

O ok nepa_jim. we definitely have to get together sometime and just ride around for the heck of it. Im not much of a road trip type person but rather to ride around with other riders not far far away but anywere is cool. I can invite my dad n friend so it can be the 4 unless ofcourse more wanna join which are more than welcome. I HOPE there will be no more surprise snow and that the rain stops for a couple weeks.
