Funny stuff... I ride every day (just got back from a little morning head-clearing jaunt) but the speedmaster stays parked unless the weather's good. Mine handles kind of nasty on wet roads, and randomly stops running when it rains.. I take the absolutely dependable road king, I have a one piece riding suit and bell 500 helmet for bad weather. I've been in the car 3 days in the last 6 months.. dang snow. I was slippin and slidin pretty good Friday on the way to work, freezing fog and plenty of black ice, but I hate the cage. You can bash my Harley all you want, but my Triumph is the garage queen in my stable.
