I'm with ya. (Relatively) warm and dry is always a reason to get the bike out and ride up here in Washington. Managed to get an hour in yesterday on an unseasonably warm (60s) day yesterday.

Cool

Yup it was a great day yesterday here in Kzoo too. got in about 50+ miles, some fresh fuel and a nice ride on dry roads. Had to watch for the sand on some of the back roads, but what a nice ride.

What's the seat you have on your Train that I see in the pic. I'm looking for something that will bring me a little more forward with better support.. but of course with style.

Almost 60s here, and I had a day off. Had the OL wake me up at 10h30, and enjoyed every minute of the first ride of the year. Sunny, dry, wont get any better in march.

I dont know how you can do that. I was out this weekend, put 150 on it, felt GREAT. Wash her up a bit and she's fine.

Felt good to finally burn up a tank! Can’t wait until the streets are clean and you can ride without a jacket!
