Default Cherry busted!

Pick up bike form dealer after thousand mile check, got to dealer sunny , came out and the sky cover with dark storm clouds. Got five minutes away and ran into it, I never rode in the rain, but man it was pouring down hard. Didn't have winsheid on and my new rain suite took it out of my bags when I drop off bike to dealer. Reduce speed and had about thirty two miles to go. With about fifthteen miles left sunny and by time I got home I was almost completely dry.

Doesn't look like your bike even got dirty![8D] Remember, they are all good days to ride just sometimes it rains. Glad you made it home OK.

Forgot to say : nice bike!

How do find the sheepskin (if that is what it is) for comfort? The tassels look sharp, do they whip about at speed?

Pat very comfy, with the jel filling, J&P Cycles Part#810-061

You have a good looking scooter as well!

And never had the tassels whip me, but I think they look sharp in the wind!

Your bike look good you should ride in the rain more often. I got caught in the rain I didn't like it one bit. Like they said that's the joy of ride motorcycles.
