It was a beautiful 76 degrees today in Orlando so I decided to change the oil in all three bikes, the mower, the standby generator, and the ..... Anyway, needing to get the oil warmed up, I rode all three bikes in one day...the first time I've done that in a long time.  ;D

Oh, be quiet.  Overnight low last night was 25F here in Chicago area, not expected to get above mid 40's today. Now I have to go out and rake leaves before they come around on Monday for the pick-up.  I really REALLY hate winter.  >:(

Yeah there's nothing better than that first WOT run through the gears in the spring.

I hate to rub it in, but it was nice here in Florida the last 2 days. I just bought a new Suzuki Bandit 1250S and put about 125 miles on it yesterday  :)

I tell you, get yourself a Vetter fairing with lowers for winter riding. (You know the ones everyone wants to throw away?)

Your face and hands will still move when you arrive and you can actually feel those cute young butts being pinched as soon as you get to work.  The warmth from the engine will keep your lower bits ready for action, too!

Cheers,

Thanks, I have only had it a couple of days and I really like it so far. It has a tad more power than my CB550K  ;D. It was a left over 2007, so the price was right and I couldn't resist the naked bike styling.
