It has better wind protection than my buell.

Serious? I <3 the wind protection on the R! And the built in heater is nice.

Yea I made the mistake of riding as soon as the roads cleared before. What a fucking mess and all that salt on your bike can't be good!

I was hoping to see some pics with the new hoops on.

I'm still waiting for the snow to melt. Plus another storm and Arctic cold is coming in tomorrow. I haven't seen a Sunoco gas station since the early 70's. Used to get Sunoco 260 then, with an octane over 100 for $0.37/gal. Boy was that expensive compared to other premium.

Was going to put them on but the snow storm messed up everything. Will try sometime this month.

My car runs crappy on Sunoco around here. There's one right down the road from my house. I stopped going there. Consistently get worse mileage on Sunoco.

Ohio is right there with Michigan when it comes to that.

I got in a mere 50 miles or so, and it was only 30'ish - what a wuss I am.

Still a great way to roll in the New Year!

I did a canyon run on Sunday...temp was 75. It was near perfect.

I won't ride under 60F, unless it is to work.

12F is nutz...
