On the bright side... got my first ride of the season in today (Yahoo!), on the not so bright side... Vance and Hines Dresser Duals with stock mufflers on my 2013 EGU Limited... sound like crap. Will have to muffler shop this year...

What is this first ride of the season you speak of ?? You mean you do not ride year round ??
I would blow my brains out on a white sheet and create death art if I could not ride at least every few weeks.

Now that the snow is melting here in NY, all I need is for my yard to dry up and I can have my first ride of the season. It's a bitch to ride out and then get stuck trying to get back across the yard and bury the rear tire.

I got my first ride in on Sunday, it was upper 40's in Wisconsin but now it looks like it's going to be parked for a few weeks until we get warm weather again.
