I ride a good part of the winter. It doesn't get that cold in VA for the most part. Butt... I picked up a new scoot this year (09 train) and a painter buddy of mine is gonna paint the tank and fenders for me. Not sure what yet, but I'm thinking maybe blue ghost flames. I'm also thinking of dropping the front but I'm not positive yet. I might raise the tank instead. Jury's still out. It's already badgeless and I'm trying to keep it real clean looking.

2009 was a big year so I think I'm going to just take care of some small stuff. Problem is, when I do that, I end up buying a bunch of small things to slap on the bike just to get my fix. Usually tear them off by the time the summer rolls around.

I want to tear apart the cowling and try to figure out what keeps rattling in there. Also considering an HID headlamp to make things a little nicer in the evenings. I've got some stuff gathered up that I haven't put on the bike yet: new rear turn signals, new horn (possibly relocate), caps to cover the rear axle. There's a slim chance I'll get new saddle bags.

I don't own a car so I ride through the winter.

I have posted this before, but my winter mods will be an American Suspension Dragon Slayer Springer with the rear tubes painted Pacific Blue Pearl like my bike. I will also be adding BR 10" or 12" 1 1/4" Sweeping Beaters Bars. Also, I will be changing out my ignition/coil assembly. I was going to have this done already, but had trouble with a top motor mount, and the one I want Yankee Engineuity is in the process of producing it.
