Damn... Dallas... I had that my first full day of ownership...

Then again... it was prime riding season... guess that could make a difference... lol

It'll come all too fast and you'll look at the odometer one day and say... how in the fukk did I get this many miles in such a short time... lol

I know how you feel, have had mine for a month and have only been able to ride twice (even then it was only 44 and cloudy but I had so much adrenalin flowing I hardly felt the cold. I've got 160 miles on it so far but it's back below freezing for a few days again.

Wish I didn't have a work vehicle then I could ride mine to work everyday, its been so busy at work for the last year workingvery long daysdosen't leave to much time to ride. Only put 900 miles on last year due to surgery but this year will be different was out 3 times and put over 400 miles on it. Weather in PA looks like it is done snow/icing for the year.
