Where did you end up riding?

I had to test ride an M109R today and froze my ass off.

What is a M109R? Sorry, if it's not Yamaha, KTM or Aprilia..I don't even know it exists

I took a ride down to Westerly RI taking all backroads, then back up into south eastern Ct before heading back over to RI. Stopped home quick to warm up by the fire and went for a loop around the resivour before meeting up with 2 other riders, then to a late lunch. Kept it local.

And AF1 racing has the new 08 fuel tank on sale and in stock now for $100 off regular price. I ordered it so now I should at least be able to go 75-80 miles without gas...well for the bike anyways

[The Snowman]

All kidding aside, it was cold as fuck today I did however manage to get 138 miles on the bike even though I froze my ass off. Even met up with a couple squids later on for a late lunch, hey thanks for lunch

I got 3 miles in on Annalisa's 600 delivering it to GMD for spring work.

That's about all my fingers could endure. On the flip side, the new jacket was warm and comfy, even though it is perforated. It has a fleece lining in it, so it's toasty.

couple o squids. Whos truck we taking?

Keep it up, you'll be riding down there alone

i keed, i keed. I found out tonight cleaning the Tard the i officially need a new chain. Suggestions? Wondering about the gearing to

[R7]

What gearing do you have on it now?
The OE KTM sprockets are the way to go IMO and use a Moose O-ring chain

[MysteriousR1]

14 48. Non o-ring on there now and its just clearing it. Thats with half the tire missing. When i had the o-ring chain on with the motard wheels, could hardly get the rear to spin at all. Hit the tire pretty bad

[R7]

I've got 14/45 on my 525 for Motard and 14/48 for offroad. I wouldn't go any bigger than 45 for the rear, it doesn't have the power to pull a higher gear in top gear anyways. At least mine didn't, had all I could do to get the bike to 100.

This 45-50 mile fuel range stuff isn't gonna cut it for me. Fuel light comes on at 45ish miles and I get gas rite away. It takes 1.6 gallons which is cutting it close seeing it only has a 1.9 gallon tank

It's more manly to be cold.

atleast if your cold you have an excuse for being " small" just blame it on the cold.

I have lectrics on the big bike but not the WR , I haven't looked into the charging system yet to see if I have enough juice.

I'm glad I'm a girl then...I can stay warm...and call all the winey boys sally!!

They don't take alot of juice...unless you do something dumb like a girl would and stand there plugged in while you chat with friends... and then you need to get a boost to start...(it was real cold)

[DucDave]

I have been using Gerbings for years...you may call me girlie or a wimp. I prefer to consider myself brilliant and a 'rider' not limited by cold weather...

I actually like riding in the winter when the roads are free of salt, sand and ice. Better site lines, less traffic, and longer vistas!

Come on, don't be shy

The problem with all the cool bikes (Motards/dirtbikes) is they make just enough power to run the bike and recharge the battery. Hooking up heating gear may keep you warm for about 10 minutes until the battery is poop
Like smutty said, it's more manly to be cold
