    You guys didn't get squat for snow, not like Bend got! I bought the bike from ProCaliber in Vancouver, and he said they just got a dusting that was melted the next day. The snow we got here won't melt any time soon!

    I didn't notice that it says you're in Hillsboro below your name, sorry. But if you're riding at all this time of year you're a brave man!

    Grew up in Oswego 40 miles north where they get more snow than Syracuse.

    Going camping this week, bike is in the toy hauler!!!

    If you are lucky:

    I don't know how the bottom of the tank cover could get rubbed. Maybe what looks like rubbed off paint is the 3m film is not sticking down and has collected debris under it. Once the film is removed, you may find paint under it! That goes for the left side panel, too. Looks like the same thing happened there.

    I believe you may be right. At least, I'm HOPING you're right! However, I still want to paint it blue (not black like the Stones say). That, along with black Cobra 6-into-6 pipes and a cool windshield would make this bike MINE!

    Ummm, I'm thinking I might need to access the key hole every once in a while.

    Congratulations on your new bike!

    I am retired and don't have the coin for a repaint but that blue is a beautiful colour. I had a CBR1100XX Super Blackbird and it was in a similar blue, the red will do for now for me.

    Maybe look up the elevation of PDX- Hillsboro, OR vs Bend, OR. Might explain snowfall versus rainfall.
