I hear you, we've had 2 dry days since I bought mine. I might get a window tomorrow for little ride before the next big storm hits. You don't ride in the rain around here, ******** are dangerous enough on dry streets.

Forkin' sux! Just returned from SWFL where I was riding daily, and now back in NJ (40 degrees with rain) until March 1-4 (depending on work) looking at the 4 bikes in my garage, and expecting to trade-in one of the FLSTCs for an FLHR.
But if I can get a dry day over 40 degrees, I'll be out for a ride 4sure!

I was hoping you were going to get out last weekend and enjoy the feel of your new M8 breaking in. I will amaze you!

Great having a new M8 RK and I loved the 500 miles I got in before winter hit. Living in New Jersey makes it all but impossible to enjoy riding it right now (cold, road salt, brine etc) . Waiting for spring has NEVER been this torturous. A new reason to consider moving.

I know how bum body parts can screw with ones ride. I have a belly full of double mess to keep me together all put together with what looks like 120lb fishing line with stainless steel barbs. Imagine a rose stem stitched into your abdomen. And to think I drug a knee today. I was impressed how I could slide off the RK, counter steer and keep the bikes lean angle under control. Then I wanted a Soma Tab and Oxy when I got home.... lolololololol

Winter Sucks
Even if we get a warm day there is still salt everywhere and I gets into everyplace on the bike . Add to that black ice and drivers unaware of a bike out .
Last winter was a different story we were riding up till christmas . Christmas eve and day we rode 500 miles combines up in the adirondacks by Sacandaga . It was beautiful . It was warm enough here saturday to ride but the roads are loaded with salt
