But now I have some hand protectors. Check out these puppies. 12 degrees + 80 MPH = -32 old index or - 19 new index. My iPod shuts off if I don't have it plugged in. Thank goodness for heated jackets and grips. :cold:

Nice. Your little Beamer is all set up. I've never ridden one but have to ask:

Do the cylinders ever get in the way?


BTW- You're nuts for riding out there. :nod:

Nah they don't get in the way. They are right in front of your foot pegs. The ergonomics and balance on these bike is truly amazing. It rides/feels like a bike 200 lbs less in weight. :five: As for the cold. . .it is always nice to hop on a bike after work to ride home rather than a car or truck. :ride:

You don't lift one back upright like they are 200 lbs less....

(Acca has never dropped his - just clarifying for him...)
