Default brrrrrrrr!!!!!!!

Damn, it was cold today in ct, but i had to get my bike to my buddy's garage so we could start a round of mods. Got no trailer, sun was shinin, easy decision. I clocked about 70 miles, counting the ride to the garage and various other blasts around, couldn't help myself, the weather was beatiful, other than being windy and cold, the grin is still on my face, not sure if it's frozen there or if it was being back on my baby. Puttin on some new tail lights, a laydown license plate bracket, pm grips, lowering kit in the rear, and narrow glide apes from licks. Got most of it done today, just gotta do some wiring and get some longer clutch and cable lines and i'm back in business. I'll post some pics once I finish it up.

Oh yeah, can anyone turn me on to somewhere i can get some wire wheels for my 01 fxdx, i am looking for black hubs and rims with stainless spokes, dual disc in the front, thanks all!!

Rode mine to the shop yesterday as well. -4 (Fahrenheit), but still had a smile on.
Thought I should get it in the shop while the roads were dry. If I waited for warmer weather
the roads would be covered in salty water (snow melt).

I love to ride but -4 is a little out of the question. I'm thinking that it needs to be at least 32 with no chance of ice. Ice and 2 wheels don't mix very well.

I was fortunate for a buddy to call on Saturday who just bought an 883 Iron at the dealer and wanted someone to ride it to another buds garage for storage. Of course I volunteered and it was a blast. About thirty degrees out the roads were clear and the bike had zero miles on it until I put the first fifteen. What a fun little ripper.

I agree with you...100%. I drove to the shop first (in my cage) to drop off parts,
so I knew my route was clean and dry. But the parking lot was iced over, and my feet
were slipping when I put them down. I would not want to ride on ice!
