Default First Wave...













Got some goodies on finally. Not that there is a big hurry since we've been in single digits and teens here. With snow & ice.
Dealership will drop them off later today.

Got rider back rests, heated grips, highway pegs, and full stage 1 including V&H Power Duals & Titan 450's, Screaming Eagle intake, and SE tuner. I think the only thing different between the 2 is the style of grips.

Great looking rides! Ain't this frickin' winter killing you? It is me. I will likely trailer south in March just to get back on my bike. If it weren't for work, I would so be out of here for good!

Temps are not so much the problem as the Ice and Magnesium Chloride they use to melt it. Bike is put up until the Spring rains clean the Mag off of the roads.
