Thanks for chiming in, comrades! I actually did ride it to work today. A little cold (31 degrees F this morning, 38 on the way home) but I'm still grinning ear to ear. I appreciate Dwight's advice about 8/10 street!! Wise words indeed. The benefit of me turning 46 this month is that I don't feel the need to hang out with the younger sportbikers riding faster and faster until one of us runs wide off a corner! I may be older and slower, but I've got grandchildren that are more important than that. :-)
