A few days before Xmas, the temperature is 49 degrees, and it's not raining. Must be a gift from the heavens, so I took her out yesterday for a leisurely 50 mile December Bonus ride, stopping for hot chocolate at the doughnut place halfway through. Heated grips have paid for themselves by now, I figure. Today--rain and gale force wind.
the more I see those 17 EX's the more I like them.
I haven't been on the road for over two months due to the onset of winter and cold weather, so I can only reflect back on last summer when I was joyfully swinging through our winding coastal roads on the CB.
Many of these roads are squarely on the Atlantic Ocean and you can almost spit in the ocean - but I wouldn't be so rude and crude

Here, I had paused on one of my favorite roads for a butt rest and snapped a shot of this great machine.
As you can see I fitted fork gaiters following ferret's great tutorial on the subject. Very easy to do and it gives a more retro look.
The matching side covers came from Mr. T.
Great reflection on a great ride Rocky. Bike looks awesome too!

Practically a spittin' image of my ride, sans the tailpipe protector.
