Spidey,

The guy in the red suit in your pictures,

Was he the one who set up the targets and wore red so you didn't shoot him.

Nothing to Bitch about today, even though got dry roads but the temp is gone back to freezing.

Chanting has paid off - the snow is almost gone now, but I wanted to put some miles on the fresh top end.

Friday I got 150 miles in!! Really like the Buell Custom Saddle, far more comfy (to me) than the stock M2L seat. Nice mellow ride from Rochester to Dansville NY & back, fairly empty roads, did see a bunch of bikes out. Then it snowed. Now its 30f ish. Come on Spring!

Looks like fun Spidy! Went out 2 weeks ago to test drive my in laws Browning Gold Hunter. Sweet!

hey aesquire, is there much of a difference in height(inseam) with the buell custom saddle?
i have the m2L seat now and it's just right height
wise, but not that comfortable after about an hour of riding.

Tripp, about 1-2 inches maybe, you feel more "on" than "in" the bike, but the rise for the passenger is enough to keep you from sliding back. Try one if you can, It sure don't take long to swap. I mostly bought the Buell Custom saddle for the passenger comfort, now I like it for me as well, and the styling change grows on you. (like Reactor Yellow }

Why the hell did they send us to work today with an inch of ice on the road and freezing rain predicted with six inches of snow forecasted on top of it. I would like to go back to napping the afternoon away.... WAAAAAAAAAAA :(

:) Glad to see someone has come to their senses, we are going home in thirty minutes.

Yeah, you may have year round riding in Texas and California, but we get EXTRA paid time off !!!

(I know it was a meager attempt but give me a break, I can't drive the bike home with an inch of ice on the road :devil: )

You were not crazy enough to ride the bike with bad weather forecast?

I have a set of old ice tires I took off my dirtbike I can send.

Rochester NY area.
186,000 without power this morning, 140,000 at noon, more coming on line all the time. Ice storm kicks some butt! 31f right now, but lots melted off trees today, so hope 40 mph winds tonight don't do too much more damage. I left the M2 in the garage, driveway has inch of ice.

Newfie, which heated grips are you using? Seems like a good idea this time of year. Still freezing here, snow today, power out all over. Lots of power co. crews fixing as fast as they can. Maybe I will get a fairing.

Spidey,

You must forgive me. I turn into a lump after work some times. I was cranky, too. But do not let them start any rumors... keep 'em guessing.

Newfie, thanks.
286,000 without power, down to 14,000 now. Power co. promises all good by Thurs. Drizzling freezing rain this morning. Weatherman said "sun may come out in afternoon, wonder what that looks like?"

Still without power,

I knew I should not have thrown that switch while up at Churchill Falls in Labrador.

Ah, one can only imagine, and probably wouldn't want to. ;)

The warmer weather today seems to be clearing the roads "one more time". If I get the S2 back together tonight after class I may get to ride it tomorrow (unless it snows again, then I'll just stop at the store and buy a bag of frozen Berry Medley since that now sounds good).

Did you get your bike home yet? I've been otherwise mentally occupied and haven't followed all the various discussion threads. I'm thinking of working a swap of a Buell for an older bagger with a side hack if I can work the deal some, otherwise I'll stay a duel-bueller.
