Hope your guys weather lets up also . I need to go get my new exhaust and programmer and security system on this week and then wait for my new fairings to arrive.. good luck guys

Man... I hear that.
I've found that ordering parts online eases the pain.
(and then putting the parts on the bike is even better!)

I actually got to thinking this winter, and I may build a simulator for the garage out of an old digital projector and a home-made bike stand. I'm thinking the stand will be heavy gauge steel with a couple of car springs for leanin' !
(Now don't go stealing my ingenious ideas, people... lol)

Yesterday and today I decided to ride to work. It's been just above freezing temps both morning. Blisteringly cold when moving, both my hands were red because my gloves aren't cold weather gloves and now I've got a sore throat. However, the sun's shining now and I can't wait to hit it a bit right after work. Yesterday, the weatherman promised me a sunny afternoon and I ended up having to ride home in a drizzle. I've been doing a lot of that, rushing out of bed as soon as I wake up to check outside the window to see how dry the roads are like as if it's Christmas morning lately. *sigh*

I know the mountain roads aren't going anywhere, but damn, I wanna lean this bike god damnit!
