    Took a trip from Springfield to Quabbin, then to mom's house in South Hadley to fix her PC.

    About 75 miles total. It was chilly!

    Dave, are you running a stock wind screen? Does it create a lot of noise around 60+ mph?


    I guess size does matter , I could use a few extra inches on mine .

    A taller wind screen might help out too.

    It's the stock screen in the highest of the four positions. It's not bad, though I wish it was a bit wider.

    that's where I have my stock screen too, it's right on the edge of being ideal for me, I just ordered a Madstad mount. in a few days I will be able to report on what it does.

    I also ordered a Caribou/Pelican luggage system

    I'm contemplating getting Audiovox CCS100 cruise control

    we had scattered snow showers all weekend, I never went out

    Damn you're a trooper, South Hadley's roads aren't even that great for cars in the winter, nevermind bikes!

    unfortunately, I believe the Madstad mounts only fit 04s +

    I got out yesterday.. although it was only about 10 miles to get the bike from storage to my garage.. might not have been much, but it felt good, and it feels good to have it sitting in my own garage finally.
