I'm sure the bike can handle the weather... my 'old and tired' bones on the other hand might not be up to it! :(

I picked up a black HJC modular helmet at the show... the next day I walked into Sturgess Cycle and bought a black V-Strom to go with the new helmet. Now I just have to wait till the bloody winter comes to an end. Painful!!!

I used to carry photocopies, until I was pulled over while riding in the States (New York state), and had to spend three hours waiting for the cop to verify all my info... AND I was lucky he was a nice guy, because he could have forced me to get someone at home to courier the originals to me...

Hmm, I may be wrong here, but I would be concerned about the 3.3A charge rate. That's much too high for a motorcycle battery. As a rule of thumb the charge rate shouldn't be higher than 10% of the battery's Ah (Amp per hour) capacity; anything over 1.5A might be too high for a small battery...

Suzuki 1250 Bandit - 100hp and 86lb torque at 3600RPM, stock.... I've never felt short on horsepower, and the torque has allowed me to pull tree stumps out of the ground!

To keep him from lane splitting!
