Awesome TT RDHS!

Now that's what I call taking your balls out of your purse and going for a ride!
I've never understood why people think that winter is a time to park a motorcycle....

LOL you're f**cking NUTS! Any permanent pinch marks on your seat when you got home?

Your balls are as big as a mountain, my friend.

Thanks, everyone...
But to be honest, we were in that snow for probably only about 40 minutes. After we came down off that mountain top, it was only rain for the rest of the day.

This one's for you "ChiTown"... :D

Keep in mind that this thermometer reads a good 5 degrees colder than what the temperature really is..

On a side note, TT RDHS, you are quite the man. :smt023

Edit: Oh how I miss those fuel prices. Currently $3.29 for regular and $3.49 for diesel. I plan on using the bike much more this summer to offset fuel costs. Too bad I always go for a 20-30 mile ride on the bike after work, thus completely negating any fuel savings.

What are those things sticking off of your bike near the handlebars? They look like little white "fins". I dunno. Never seen anything like 'em before.

Those are part of the bracket from a Vstream windscreen. I got rid of the screen, but haven't been able to remove the bracket yet because I stripped a bolt head.

I thought that maybe they were some kind of new, revolutionary air deflectors that would solve all of our buffetting problems. :mrgreen:

I hate my Vstream and will probably take it off. Are you planning to replace it with another screen?

That never happens to me because I edit my posts about 8 times so I always sound flippant and clever. ( 8) ) It's hard work being so spontaneous.

Matt still has 16 days left before coming home. I think these were photos taken by his dealership. Anyway, that's some determination. I thought I was crazy for ordering my bike from a catalog, but this takes the cake; purchasing the bike halfway across the world and having it sit in your driveway teasing you while you can't ride it.
