    I had to sell mine, but if things work out for me by the end of March or the beginning of April, I should have another one.

    i didn't even know it had snowed yet hmm. to all ya'll still riding i'll give props, i used to a while back. but now you will not see me doing it, but then again i hardly ride mine in the summer unless i come out for a little race. It goes on the trailer headed to the track on fridays then goes back in the shop for ajustments. I guess if i had a nice streetable bike I would be out more. not that mine is not just setup a little more on the track side. might have to pick up another one this spring and get back to it. Getting an itch for some curves and a road trip.

    I just got a 1 piece cold weather suit so on nice/cold days I'll ride the GSX-R but on not so nice days I'll ride the DR-Z400. I ride year round.

    I'm a 50 and up guy also. Nothing left to do to the R1. There's nothing left to do to my pit bike either. I do have a Banshee that I need to get together though, and a 7RR that I need to rebuild.

    Install my Power Commander 5 and AutoTune, and tune up of course. Maybe get some adjustable levers. Bike is pretty much done for me.

    I just ordered a powder coating kit that has 2 settings, small and large applications. I might strip my bike to my frame, smooth my frame out and powder coat it gloss black or a dark dark blue.

    Well, I didn't know. I also don't have your number. I'm hoping my other bike buddies let me do work for them so I can make the money back on the machine fairly quickly.

    What did you do to the oven??

    Just got back from a cold ass ride. 29*FTL both on and off road with my DR-Z400. Went out yesterday with the GSX-R and it was 36*. I wish my 1 piece winter riding suit would hurry up and get here.

    Haven't rode in weeks. I've done my time with cold weather, I don't HAVE to now so I don't. I started the bikes up the other day and rode them up and down the driveway, that is about it. Picked up a old school '81 Honda XL500, to build a flattracker, that should keep me busy till it warms the fuck up.

    Daniel, we need to talk
