Default The Simulator
Working on converting the garage into a giant iMax STYLE simulator. I park the bike for the winter into a special capsule and every time I want to go for a ride I just load the road trip into the simulator computer, climb on and ride on. This helps my depression throughout the winter months when I can't ride.

Wow that's cool! I guess that's one of the benefits of living in SoCal. We pretty much get to ride all year round.
