I agree, I have never seen a winter like this one we are now having. This bike is fairly new to me though plus I have been cramming mod's in to make it mine and get it ready for spring. I also didn't want my 1st ride spoiled by being uncomfortable so I have elected to wait. I have ridden in way worse weather then we have been having but I want to just go and not worrying about having to come back, enjoy it to it's fullest, not take it out, get frozen and have to scurry back to park it and thaw out. Patiance, spring is right around the corner.
