I can't ride for a while.... actually next monday morning.

My 03 got moved to my house in Florida for the winter, rode it 3 weeks ago when I was there, going for 3 weeks, then home for 2, back to Florida for 2 more...

Sure beats seeing it in the garage next to the ZZR and Porsche all winter...

I love NH, but our riding season is short to say the least ... frost heave season, mud season,black fly season, Rainconia Bike Week, Tourist season, leaf peeper season... riding gets squeezed in there somewhere.

unfortunately, the leadership on my fob was not as cool so that wasn't happening for me.......

thanks for your service, make it home safe.

I bought my '14 in September so its' all good, have 3300 miles on it. Last year I rode my '13 Road King with stock polished wheels and the road salt ate the wheels badly. Really pitted them quickly. Luckily my insurance co bought me new ones.
