Tuesday night, 40 degrees, I went to the shop to take the air cleaner off the bike to be repainted. Decided I'd start it up and let it breathe a bit, smelled that exhaust and had to take it off the lift and go for a bit of a night ride.

It was a little chilly as I wasn't dressed for riding but still had dress clothes on from work, but I rode for about 15 minutes in the cold and fog, had her up to 95mph and smiled all the way home.

Now the damn painter just needs to finish that cover cause the bug has bit me hard.

O cool, I really like the nice big front fender on those. One of my friends up at school has one and he loves it.
