Congrats and welcome to the forum from Nebraska!
Great lookin' skoot. Clean as hell.

I know what you mean about crappy weather. We've still got a lot of snow piled up and lots of sloppy salty-sandy roads right now. The best I can do is back out into the driveway every month or so and fire it up, let run for a while and imagine warm spring days...

i like riding by myself, but i hope our local HOG chapter works out for me, i only know one other buddy of mine with a cycle and he has a crotch rocket, i would love to go riding with a group of people, man i cant wait for summer

even worse, i paid for it today but left it at the shop for now, i figured i would wait until its warm enough to ride home, but i kind of wish i had it here just to go out and start it
