Very cool. Too cold to do that here in Chicago. Was in the single digits last week but warmed up in the 30s now.

Beautiful bike!
You got raked trees on your ride? Looks like the front end pokes out further than stock.

Great ride from the Livermore area across the Dumbarton Bridge, to the 101, to the 84 then up Old La Hondra Road (what a small winding road), then to Skyline.

Headed back via 35 to 92 across San Mateo Bridge, through Hayward to the 580.

100 mile trip, about 40 degrees, 2.47gallons.
