Now ya gotta get ya some fingerless gloves

So you're saying your warranty will be up before you put 5K on it?

Just remember, they can't see you out there! Have fun and drive safe, and watch for loose debris after a good wind or rain storm.
and if you ride right beside someone after a really good storm, through a puddle, you won't soon forget that lesson

If you're not used to riding I'd advise you to go out and buy a good bottle of powder for your ***, and put it in your saddle bag. When you get somewhere and the hair on your *** has been pulling and it's sore and all, it sure is nice to pop into a bathroom and powder up for some comfort to get home

You did the right thing. It's the time in your life to get free and ride. Congrats on the beautiful bike.

I know how you feel about the weather. It's in the low 40s here and I'm going riding tomorrow for sure unless it's pouring down rain. Anything short of that and I'm hittin the road for at least 100 miles.

You'll really enjoy this forum if you get involved. Great people here who will really help if you need it. Lots of knowledge here about upgrades and bling. ENJOY!
