    Got the bike out this weekend for my first ride!:thumbsup:

    so on saterday i woke up bright and early so the mud was still frozen and pushed the bike out of where it was stored across teh mud hole into the shop.
    i changed the oil (breaking every clip i took out :mad: )
    Had lunch and took off, it was a beautiful +4 degrees celsius :wink:
    I am so amazed how great this bike is! so smooth and fast, haha. my old cb900 has nothing on this.
    Rode to work this morning 17km of highway, it was -5 degrees celsius. maybe i should have taken my jeep instead. it was Dam cold :eek:
    i will be posting pictures tonight.!

    Yeah, it was nice enough yesterday to get the bike out for a spin and of course it's snowing today. Gotta love Northeast Ohio.

    lol Supposedly it's going to be +10 on Saturday. My only hope is that I can narrow down this issue and get my bike running by then.

    For the love of your fellow riders, here in Ontario, PLEASE send us some of the warmer weather this way! And YES! +4 is nicer weather! We are very sick of all this damn snow!

    VFR Riders in Winnipeg

    Good choice, though you have my sympathies in Winnipeg. I can say this because I lived near there for a long time.

    Was out in "Northern" Ontario on Saint Patrick's day, but the coming week looks like the start of true riding weather. :biggrin:
