had a nice brisk ride into work. 55 degrees but will get close to 70 today in Dallas. Love this bike after getting off the sporty. its so smooth, had the power, comfort and i did a few low speed maneuvers in my job parking lot to test the size weight and power... had no issues at all handling it.

Cleaned both bikes really good. It is warm enough to ride (50s) but I won't because of the salt on the road...sucks.

Nice job on that primary cover. Although first thing I did was pc mine. Felt like the silver stuck out too much against that black motor. But to each his own. Well done.
