RE: Getting cold, everyone still riding?
I'm going to try to ride tonight. It's been in the mid-low 70s during the day, but it has dipped into the low40s at night.
My plan so far is my usual leather jacket, pullover with a zipper up my neck, t-shirt, longsleeve, long john pants, riding jeans, boots, and my Joe Rocket gauntlets with a latex glove underneath to block the wind. Either I'm going to be somewhat comfortable, or taking several rest stops to warm up.

I put my bike away about 3 weeks ago because of this cold northern ontario climate. however my buddy stop by on his gixxer 750 yesterday because it wasnt too too cold out. He let me take it for a spin, first time i'd ever been on a gsxr. i gotta say it didnt feel as good as my 600RR i dont know what it was, it just had a cheaper feel to it?? but i gotta admit, that 750 sure seemed to have more pickup then mine did i didnt think it would be that big of a difference between the 2 bikes, buti sure felt it.

but , you have to say that suzuki has never been short of hp on any of their models..
You were pretty right in your explanation of how they feel too...they do seem a little tin-ie(cheap) when riding them..
I much prefer the 600 Honda's
but...
Why the 750 felt go-ie??? well...you know the old saying about power..
There is no substitute for cubic inches (in this case CC's
)P/S ... sorry you are freezing mate
