Title: Who does the weather? Honestly....

SO... Colo Springs had a 30% chance of afternoon showers... What they didnt say was that meant 100% chance of random blizzard... As if a testament of Italian quality, the monster comes through no problem.

The SS does...sure makes a difference - even in the rain.  On high, they'll about take the hide off the palms...through the gloves!!

Sadly no heated grips... yet... Thankfully the ice building up on my winter gloves and coat helped do some insulation... Though I'm wondering now if there is a mini visor wiper attachment I might need to look into. HA!

   HEATED GRIPS !!     Hell, when I was Your age, We didn't have "heated grips", it got so cold the oil froze in the crankcase and We would have to hook up a dog team to pull Us. All We could afford was T shirt and jeans, and you would have to break the ice off Your eyebrows with Your fist, but damn-it, We rode!!   We were tough I tell Ya, tough!!........Good Morning [coffee]

That being said... I guess you could say I'm wise beyond my years?  [laugh] Plus being military I cant warm up the old fashioned way after a ride.  [drink]
