I've ridden in snow, it is no fun. Thursday I rode to work, and got hit with the 20% chance of rain on the new bike. Friday it was 60% chance of rain, had to go to work, so I figured the cage would do it. The 40% sun shone all day. This weekend I gave up and did other things, and tomorrow too...

GP Bikes told me April or May for Ducati's. Penninsula said May. Budds BMW is taking appointments now, test ride day is the Sunday of the May 24 weekend.

Re: Did you get a new bike? Post some pics. New CBR125R destined for the cottage.

'97 Trophy 900. Topbox, extended fenders, fork protectors, scottoiler and Corbin seat. The first seat didn't last too well. And I agree, BRG is the fasted colour for them;)
