Got some good light so I roller her out for a chilly photo shoot

The title says it all really. I'm at home unsupervised (kids and wife at the mall) so I was dorking around and thought it was too nice to miss a chance to take a few snaps in the snow. So here we go.







The nut clearance mod is clearly evident in this picture....otstir:

 

The bike looks really good in the snow. It's 0 degrees here in Guelph and I am contemplating heading out for a quick ride before the freezing rain gets here.

 

I can almost hear the bike saying "no, no, no! What is that awful stuff! Make it go away! Don't make me touch it! :fear:" ound:

Cool Pics though! (no pun intended) :doh:

 

That bright blue is just awful! Are you going to paint the tank too? BTW. If you have though of doing so, Don't cut off the fender. At least not if you ride in the rain. I get very dirty cause I cut too much off mine.

 

Love it!


Great pics!

 

Nice :drool:

 

It looks outstanding!

 

What you are looking at, for those who don't already know, is a cheap suit. Chinese fairing kit from long dong province, which is why the blue is different. To answer your question Randy, my intention is to paint my other plastic which is all OEM Honda stuff including a different fuel tank that doesn't have the huge relief for my nuts to rest in. I do like the RWB paint scheme but it will be too hard to duplicate so I'm thinking Pearl White. Still have to sell off a few things to scrape up the cash for paint. In the mean time, I can ride with my cheap suit as you see it here.

 

Naw too cold for me but have at it if you feel inclined. I think I will turn the heat on in the garage and cut up some forks just for fun.

 

Looks awesome. Blends perfectly with the snow behind . The white wheels are growing on me

 

Nice Pictures!!! Try to refrain from molesting that rear fender as Randy sed, its a useful tool to keep grit and mug off you.

 

Great pics, rather you than me out in that cold though!

 

JK about the awful. I think that brilliant blue just pops.

 

She shure is purdey!!! Must have a lot of time cleaning her with all that white crap on the ground. Yes lots of time cleaning precious.. must clean precious...

 

It's funny you should say that because it is covered in saw dust from a project I was doing in the garage and I haven't cleaned it at all because there isn't any running water available. In spite of that, it does present better than expected. I appreciate the compliments.

 

IMO, white wheels look great on the RWB, and the 8 spoke looks great on any bike! Nice pics Jethro.

 

Can you change the color of the heat wrap on the exhaust pipe? The bike is so clean that it stands out..

 

Nice lookin bike there Jethro. I certainly can't say that we have near as much snow as you do but I think eastern Canada got hit with the white stuff a fair bit harder last week than us poor buggers on the west coast. Sooner than later the snow shall disappear, and once again riding season will dawn on the wintery riding group known as Canada. Unless of course, like Randy, you could actually ride year round.

Took mine out of the garage yesterday to take a few photos of the installed Givi rack for a fellow board member and after my daughter Chantal had a few mandatory smiling poses on the bike, I had to wheel the old girl back in to her corner in the garage. As I covered her back up, an oil filter for the bike (to be used in the upcoming spring oil change) was coaxed out of its place of rest on a nearby shelf by a mouse, and the filter landed on the top of rear of the tank. (Insert expletives here) Now I too have a project, though thankfully it is a small dent barely the size of a dime and thankfully the bike cover softened the blow. The offending critter (no animals were harmed before, during, though I have yet to decide about AFTER this post) shall be receiving an eviction notice from said garage. My 3 year old daughter found and chased it around the garage floor earlier today and she said "It's cute daddy, if we catch him, can we keep him?" Uhhh, eeeeer, we'll see I said.

 

Haha that is funny sh........ Can we keep them :crazy:

 

Took mine out a few weeks ago for a ride during a thaw.

spring can't come soon enough...
