Glad you made it home ok. I was worried about you. I called and left you a voicemail last night while I was on my drive home to Iowa. Figured maybe you were too frozen to pick up the phone and answer? |

ya, for those complaining about the cold this guy just rode from wisconsin to ny in the coldest weather yet this year. what do want from a guy who rides a homebuilt hardtail kicker halfway across the country each year for a bbq. dude's the real deal! oh yeah, he also wears the feelers off his pegs on his xb('s). along with providing inexpensive top notch chain conversions and some serious bling miata supercharger pulleys. looks like a new helmet too, finally a non tinted shield(always wondered how he can see at night). riding with the shield up does help his encounters with the local wildlife though, bat urine is curiously warm on a cool north carolina night! |

I will bow down to you and your new 9R. You are the man! My bike doesn't leave the house unless it's 50. |

Glad the cats out of the bag now. Glad to see you made it ok. Mike and i will be by to check the new arrival and help with the chain conversion and such. Guess we dont have to worry about the headlight issue (or do we)? |

what was he wearing, a heated snow mobil suit or just a heated jacket. i've been on the road when there's been patches of black ice but never that cold. were you able to get the boys to come back out after you got back home saintly. |

It's a prototype oil rigger suit made out of neoprene. It' pretty old but I know of nothing that is warmer. |

stat, he used a breathing tube to help cut the fogging. of course the tube kept freezing up. to hear him tell the story is hilarious. |
