Yep! Just like a good Single Malt Scotch, you might call me "an acquired taste" TOO.(among the many OTHER things you may care to call me, of course)

Good ol' Canadian ingenuity at it's best. It looks like something Red Green would come up with, minus the duct tape.

Was also out for one last ride of the season yesterday. Looks like everyone in the area with a bike had the same idea.
Here's hoping for an early spring.

I hear ya. I always put my bike away for the winter on December 31st, and then take it back out of storage the next day on January 1st. That has got to be the longest 24 hrs of the year.
'06 America, Raask foot controls, the bike use to be Graphite and Silver, now its Red and Black.
