Bit shy of 50* when I took the 1200 out this morning, think it broke 50 by the time I got home. Legs got a bit chilly, but everything else felt comfy behind the new wimpshield. No buffeting, but more wind noise than without it. Lotta metrics out, not so many Harleys, usually the other way around. Might be cause of the low temp, everyone had ff helmets, most Harley riders don't wear em.

Motor quits, it skipped more'n one tooth. I've had that happen, just runs rough. Must not have had that fiber sprocket GM used for several years, damn things would wear the teeth to bumps in a hunnert thou. I pulled the cover off a Pontiac 455" once, just lifted the chain off what little was left of the sprocket, amazing it never skipped.

Remember you moving. Sorry to hear about your Mom. My condolences to the family.
Most everybody is still around. Some don't come in as often anymore and we've got some new faces.
Don't stay away so long this time. Usually always somebody around.
