Took 'er out for a spin!
Ahhhh... it's like getting a fix... I took my Monster out for a spin today. It reached 40 degrees, so I was happy. It was so nice to twist that throttle, hear the v-twin music and take off. I feel better. ;D
Oh, and for some reason, my pipes sounded 10x louder than last fall. I wonder if all that sitting around/temperature changes really broke in my muffler. :P

Re: Took 'er out for a spin!
I rode as well ;D.. I only took out the 620 because my S4 is still crated, but man it still felt good [thumbsup]. Now if only my 1098 would come in on a warm day, or just come in soon :-\

Re: Took 'er out for a spin!
I didn't ride hard... just around the block down the street and back. Enough for a little fix. :P

Re: Took 'er out for a spin!
Anyone ride this weekend? I didn't but I did get the bike cleaned up a little bit. I need to do an oil change before my first ride.

Unfortunately, no. :'(
My bike is at my mom's house for the winter and she lives 30-40 minutes away. I went over on Saturday with the intention of riding, but once I got there I realized that in my excitement I left the keys at home. > 
I did install the spools on my swingarm though.
