Default Gotta do what'cha gotta do.

Out of storage, off the tender, started right up. Off to my Indy's for new tires, brakes and general check-up. Musta looked a sight with saddlebags removed, full cold weather gear, and a stupid wide grin under my helmet and balaclava. Spring hasn't quite sprung in northeast Ohio yet, but I'll be ready when she does!

I felt the same way yesterday when I took mine for a little rip with my snow pants on helmet and winter gloves but I had to go try it out after my winter mods. Now today it's SNOWING again and only mid 30's for highs this week. Spring just doesn't want to come here in Minnesota. Ride on Bro.

Cool, literally......
I also remove the saddlebags when taking the bike in to the dealer, one less thing they have to mess with, and one less thing I have to worry about lol

Spent the last two days working in Washington, PA and WV. Yesterday was awesome, 50 deg., the only bad part about it was that my bike is 100+ miles away at home, they are calling for snow down here later today, and more snow for up home tonight and tomorrow. I'd love to get out and ride. This cold weather is really starting to wear on me.

I took mine out for a nice ride up to Lake Erie and around yesterday. Realized after I was already a ways out from the house that I should have worn the full face, the half shell with no balaclava was a tad bit chilly
