Finally did a real ride
 

Today before class, I headed out a bit earlier and hit a short nice twisty on my way to class. It felt great to get back into the lean of things so to speak. This bike is great very solid going into the turns and plently of power coming out, not to mention how light and flickable through the turns it was. I can't wait for summer to get here although I do feel a sick day coming on friday *cough* *cough*

go ahead rub it in. It is freakin 25 degrees over here

And your point is? I still plan to ride this weekend. Not a long one of course, but still. Cold is no reason to not ride as long as the roads are clean.

I rode in subzero weather before and didn't enjoy it to be honest with you, not when you won't be able to feel your fingers or have the tires sliding all over. Plus my bike is in pieces right now getting the frame polished and the forks resprung. Have you seen the salt piles on Michigan roads, maybe not as much around your are Yamarocket but over here in GR, they have em all over the streets. No thanks, i would wait a couple more weeks.

Polished frame??? (drools)
What's that gonna set you back...or are you doing it yourself?
Sounds pretty nice either way :D

Himself.....can you say carpul tunnel.......from polishing.......his frame not his rocket come on you sick bastards. :lol:

That's why I got married...oh wait, guess I didn't have to....what's that, yes dear I am loading the dishwasher....

Wait you got married to polish your...........frame?

Oh and glad your first real ride was enjoyable Rock, as you get more familiar with it you'll like it even more. :D

Youguys are hilarious. Yes I am polishing the BIKE frame myself and no I get my Rocket polished by my GF on a regular basis. I like Mothers billet polish and she like KY Jelly. They are both expensive. LOLOLO

Young at heart maybe check my age whipper snapper.

Yeah, i can see you are not 27 anymore. LOL

Sorry misread the first word I thought it said young guys. :oops:

That's what I tell older people all the time. The first body system that tells you you are gettin old are the eyes. Have you checked em lately??? LOLO

What's that...........I can't see or hear ya sonny, damn kids these days talking back all the time....doh there goes my back again. :lol:

LOL. I heard you could become blind from polishing. LMFAO

Blind and sore. :lol:

A lot of Bengay and ICE.

No man that shit burns!!!

You have the local Fire dptmnt on speed dial. That came handy for me a couple times.

2 observations I made while riding in the 37 degree temps tonite...

1. I think the superhawk has more torque that my truck, and it is sneaky fast. Everytime I would look down at the speedo it was "oh S***! I should slow down."

2. Snowmobile suits are really warm.

Wait til this weekend, it will be warmer, then you start enjoying the warm asphalt.
