The reflections in the tank are an added bonus.
I got out before breakfast this morning to try out the new balaclava. Works fine, my neck and chin were toasty warm. Too bad my hands froze after five miles.
No windjammer on the KLR. Next time it's the GS, probably a lot more on the GS actually till it warms up. Oh, I painted the hand guards so they're not pink anymore, LOL.
So this evening I took the GS out for a 30 mile ride. What a difference! Not only was the cold windy night tolerable, it was enjoyable!! I changed gloves from this morning and had warmer hands but the fairing made all the difference in the world.
Not me.
Nor did I see anyone else.
Looks like ride of 2 days ago maybe last in a long time.
... hum, but then again, didn't see any county salt trucks out (did see some city trucks), so some roads could be okay in a few days.

Red, you're a LOT tougher than I am! Lack of snow is only part of the requirement for me to ride; it's gotta be above at least 50; 70 is better. Yes, I am a big ole wuss.
With that be-ute-tee-full 850 you have, it should be put away till April when is zero chance of any salt on road.
I may take out the shadow on occasion if roads clear and not a lot of salt residue. Fairing and heated gloves and other cold weather riding gear makes a big difference.
GK will not be out till about no chance of salt.

May be a few days yet.

Yup..... that's our world for the next few months, isn't it Red? Just makes us appreciate our good weather that much more, doesn't it? At least that's what I keep telling myself. I drove into Dexter this morning to get my hair cut. The barber shop is on a busy (for Dexter) corner, and has two walls of big picture windows. The scene outside was straight out of a Christmas card. I wish I had had my camera with me; I'd have taken a few pics.

A very enjoyable morning out and perfect sunny weather for it, definitely getting on the warm side on the trip home!

Yep. Will be differnt when ground froze so snow doesn't melt on pavement.
Hey, Are you gonna acknowledge your BOTM.....?
Thanks for posting pics of bikes on the road.
What are those dark areas on the pavement next to the bikes?
Seems to be in a shape something like the bikes.
>>later note. Oh, shadows. Yah, have those if not heavy cloud overcast. I almost forgot what sunshine is like.

Yeah I know I got BOTM, but I didn't know there was anything I could do to acknowledge it. Am I supposed to do something?
Nothing that you are suppose to do.
Is something you could do. Could comment in the section for commenting on BOTM

I believe that coffee and donuts for EVERYBODY is the standard practice. :-\\\

Sounds like a great idea, but I may have to rent out the MI stadium to accommodate everyone on the Forum. Dimo's donuts for all!

If "everybody" is considered a relative term then it's not an impossible suggestion.
That venue may be a bit optimistic. Even though there are over 7k members only 670 are "active", and with less than 20 guests at the moment, a high school gymnasium would suffice. Logistically maybe 60 dozen donuts (a pick up truck load) and assuming each has an 8oz cup-O-Joe, 60 pots of coffee or roughly 45 gallons. Give or take...

It was really just there and back so only just over 100km's, but a few of us headed over to one of the other Katana Australia fella's house for a BBQ brekky and a chin wag.
A very enjoyable morning out and perfect sunny weather for it, definitely getting on the warm side on the trip home!
I remember when those Katana's first came out and they were in all the magazines... OMG did I have a lusting for those damn bikes!! I still think they look sexy as hell. I didnt have nearly the pocket for it but now maybe I should keep an eye out for one just so I can scratch it off the bucket list.
