ACTUALLY....It rained some here this morning, but the weather is nice enough for a ride tonight!

I will definately go for a ride sometime this weekend. I'm sorry that you have to keep yours locked up! That would bug the hell out of me!

I almost took it out Monday or tuesday but it was like 20deg's! Yea it sucks. I was watching a cuple shows on Daytona Bike Week and some old superbike shows on speed. I wana ride, I wana ride.......I've been trying to get some time to polish it while it is just sitting there. Ofcourse this could be a good time to get some other stuff polished.

I've heard that Ohio has similar weather as Missouri. It's facking ridiculous here. I swear it can be just what you said, all 4 seasons in a single day.

Today was a prime example. Woke up at 9 this morning and there was a fresh blanket of 2" of snow (it had finally all melted the day before) and 20 degress. Then by noon the sun was out and had melted everything, 45 degrees. Now it's been raining for 3 or 4 hours and it's supposed to start snowing again tonight. And it's supposed to rain again tomorrow, high in the 50s.

I hate it.

Im right there with ya Mr. Ohio, im from Iowa. I bought my first bike around Christmas, we managed a 45 degree day a couple weeks after x-mas that i got to take it out. That was the last chance weve had here. The roads just got to much sand and salt or snow/ice on them. Hell, its been rarely getting above freezing here. Not worth it. im going nuts

not really but made it work and still with all facotry controls.. and last night i bought a new front end (wheel w/tire,calipers,rotors,forks, upper and lower triple tree clamps) for $500 and bolted that on and now it runs perfect ... i was having issues with rubbing turns out one of my forks was ever so slightly bent.

Evan, you need a spare chrome (real deal) wheel for your bike!

Worth over $300 and I only want $125+ shipping ($35). I need the scratch to get my other wheels powder coated. If my girl knows I'm using "our" money it's gonna be my ass... and the wheels are already gone to the powder coater! Haha, if anyone wants this wheel, comes with rotor (not pictured, but straight and lots of life), just hit me up.

P.S. I haven't cleaned that wheel either. That's how she sits - I imagine a polishing job would restore luster to like-new condition. No gouges, scratches or knicks. Wheel has been mounted but babied.
