Did he also tell you that I asked his advice, then didn't take it? He was suggesting a mesh jacket with rain gear to put over it, but I'm just not a fan of mesh. Of course, the more I thought about things after we hung up the phone, I realized I didn't really give him a true picture of how and when I'd be riding. I had told him I might ride in very little rain and probably warmer weather, but I've decided I'm riding regardless of weather (probably down to the 40's and 50's and rain or shine). I really like my choice of jacket, just wish it was easier to get to the armpit zippers to open them up.

Most likely. Depends what day you'll be there. I planned on calling you this weekend, but see that you typed that message at 4am. Will wait till later in the afternoon to give you a call, or you can call me if you're up and see this message. I'm normally in bed by 10:30, so don't call after that.

Sounds good, Chris. I'm sure I'll go riding somewhere, but will make sure to call and set up plans.

--------

Here is another "mod," although it's not directly modding the Strom. I make field calls on the bike and need to take my laptop and case files. Now I don't have to worry about the laptop sliding around. This was very cheap to do, as I simply used left over floor mat that I had put down in the basement. Had to get the bottom of the "trunk" flat, then added another piece to keep the laptop from sliding around. Will probably make one more section around the upper portion of the laptop, with cutouts for power cord and wireless aircard, but too damn tired tonight. I should get close to 250 miles in tomorrow on field calls, possibly closer to 300. Nothing like getting to ride the bike for work and getting paid 47 cents per mile to do it.

My "fat bottomed girl"

Left side is larger than the right, but they both stick out 20" from center, for total 40" width. That's 6" wider than handlebar width, adding only 3" to each side. I'm thinking I should have gone with silver on the bags and the top of the case, simply to try and reflect some heat. Oh well, there is always paint if I feel I need it.

Looking good!

I almost walked out with the same bike today (again )
It was almost the most expensive fork oil I've ever bought. Price went up before I could (finally) pull the trigger. Oh well.
