So..while others speak of their riding season ending?...

[JINKSTER]

mines just begining here in floriduh and i kicked it off with a 3 day tour of the inner sanctums of central and northwest central florida including lakes county, ocala interlocken and crosscreek a couple weekends ago...and since the temps were droppin down to the mid 40's/low 50's (only in the mornings/evenings) and my cortech pants were fitting kinda snug with the thermal liner installed?..i ran down to palm beach cycle gear and snagged a nice pair of "Overpants" that are waterproof/breathable with a removable thermal liner...specifically..Frank Thomas XT1 Aqua Pore Advanced riding pants..and thanks to the cool azz velcro waistband?..they fit great w/ liner in or out and have zipper knee vents and hard knee armour between the ballistic nylon outter shell and water-proof inner liner..normally $169 but i got'em on sale for $109 plus an extra 10% military discount..and like the pants so much i'm considering looking for and buying the jacket to match..as i believe the complete suit would work out great for long range over-the-road trips...and since so far the only thing i've ever done with Oren has been loading her up in my titan p/u to go too the mountains?..i realized that outside of an extremely well used 10 year old cortech tankbag?..i had a serious lack of luggage for in-state weekenders so?..i also bought a cortech tailpack for $89...lotsa storage area and the internal bungee system worked out great with Orens stock bungee spools..the tailpack fit and rode like it was made for the busa.

and now?..i need tires...again...which is start'in ta bug me out..cant seem to get more than 3K out of the sticky stuff..might need to go back to a harder compound more suited for ST'ing but that's another thread.

L8R, Bill.

Great deals! You live in a nice area for some quiet rides. I am fort lauderdale beach. Takes a few hours of traffic to get to better ground. But I'm loving the nicer weather, today is a great example.
Ride safe

Have a great, safe ride today.

As one season ends, another one begins....

here it sorta stays the same...and it's a trade-off...ya'll get real cold..and we get reeeeal hot...so while SNOWmobils arent really an option down here in the not-so-fridgid south?..these are!

it's a tough life but..somebodies gotta live it!

PS: BTW....cool artic cat (especially the engine)..but how many snowbunnys are waiting for you to pick them up on the corner of snow & drift?

L8R, Bill.

 

[JINKSTER]

BTW...My lid is off to all of my fellow yank territory busa bretheren who still ride year round...i can appreciate your passion as i once spent a jersey winter with nothing but a Honda 750 FOUR SS

keyword? :

"ONCE"
