It sure would be nice to know where you new guys live. To me, with out a location, pictures are worthless.

I feel like a new MT is in my future..

Haha we were actually above average for snowfall in February and same so far in March- happened to take that in between melts, which tends to happen within a week or so of any snowfall here.. On average, Colorado gets the most sunny days of any state in the US, so dry roads are actually more common than white/icy roads throughout winter and most of spring- at least on the east side if the Rockies where the major metro areas lie.

The key is to get a garage/driveway that faces either southeast or southwest, so you're ensured a dry driveway more days than not

Freshened up for Spring, new tires, new chain, new sprockets and new brakes. Also a fresh coat of black paint on the rims.

Germany Valley overlook in WV by Judy’s Gap and Spruce Knob. Winds were whipping about 30mph and rode through rain the last 35 miles til I got home but was well worth the days ride on a 74° March day.
A Klím Gore Tex suit is a priceless investment 😊

Excellent point. Knowing where people are from makes for a lot more interesting conversations.

Most excellent weather today in sunny central Florida. Low 70's, not much humidity and a gentle Gulf breeze.
This is on the far end of the Ozello Trail near Crystal River.

Great mid-70s weather here in Prescott Az today. Iron Springs road headed toward Skull Valley.

Our epic weather continues so I've been riding for three days straight. Did 200 miles on the little bike today.

Ohh I wish I had your weather @shamrock ! Not that I currently have the time but April 18th will be here soon enough.

Angeles Crest Highway, specifically Upper Big Tujunga near the junction with ACH, this afternoon (north of Pasadena / Los Angeles, California USA)

I will say the weather is much nicer than it was during your visit a couple of years ago.
Full Disclosure: During Muc's visit the skies were clear and blue but we were riding in a 40/50 degree freezer!

How are you finding the little bike? Light? Nimble? Peppy enough?

The SP getting her suspension custom tuned for my weight. Definitely rides better. I think the front was bottoming out on pot holes (I'm 250) and it was very rough. Feels much better now. Lots of preload dialed in the rear which fixed the bouncing. The bike also wanted to throw my butt off the seat over whoops in the road out in the rolling countryside. All of this is gone. Highly recommend setting up the suspension for you! 😎

It took a little time and effort but I have it working pretty good now. The two biggest hurdles were making it feel like a bigger bike and getting it to turn. The K-Tech shock let me raise it up an inch and the rear sets moved my feet back so it no longer feels like I'm sitting on a Cushman Eagle. The shock, some simple fork mods, along with dropping the front end 6 or 7mm and the S22 tires really helped the steering. Now I can lean it over without holding it down.
The engine is a gem and the steel brake lines make stoppies a breeze. I kept the stock exhaust so I can run around the neighborhood like a total asshat and nobody even looks up! So yeah, it's fun.
