Just got my bike back after BB and heads, anxious to get a quick 500 miles so I can dyno it. The weather looks like it will cooperate next week here. Maybe mid 40's. Need some rain then to wash salt off roads.[sm=biker.gif]

Yeah, weather's supposed to warm up to the 50's next week, so might be able to ride then if the roads aren't wet from melting snow. Don't want to salt up the bike!
