So we did have several very nice days (not normal around here) where the temps got into the 70's that would have been great for riding. But having listened to GB and Ratman rant and rave about upgrading the front fork springs on the 800's, my bike was up on a lift. It wasn't all bad though, they were nice days to work on the bike and during that time I was able to change the oil and upgrade the fork springs to progressives, wire in the fender light that was installed when I bought the bike but never actually wired, and finally I was able to install a Brakeaway Cruise Control. This does mean that other than changing the brake fluid my bike is ready for my summer trip as well. Although it will also need the oil changed by then, but I don't count that. The timing of finishing it is perfect as well, just in time for the temps to go back into the 30's and low 40's.
On a side note, the brakeaway cruise control is a very cool product in my opinion. I like that as soon as you tap the front brake the cruise control turns off. Once you get it adjusted correctly it works really well, but the adjustments are a major pain, so you'll have to be patient (I suck at this part) while you are working on it.
Has anyone else gotten any riding in this winter that normally doesn't get to?
