    Try to ride the 26 mile round trip everyday. Hopefully have another 45 days till we get below freezing temperatures in the morning and possible ice on the roads. My F6B is hot but not sure it handles well on ice.

    Most says I ride the 62 mile round trip to the office. Like most here I just can't get enough seat time on my F6B. Short summers and long winters up here.

    40 mile round trip through the Napa valley, every day. SF bay area traffic sucks, but splittin them feels so good.

    WOOOOHOOOOOO!

    I got up early this morning and knew it was going to be a beautiful Arizona day. Left the house about 6 AM and the sun was just starting to come up. I tell ya, sunrise and sunset in the desert IS THE BEST HANDS DOWN! I rolled the F6 out of the garage and fired her up. She purrs like a kitten. I let her sit and warm up as I finished getting on a lite jacket, my gloves and my helmet. Checked the temp on the bike.......64 degrees with clear blue skies and the sun just starting to shine. I left the driveway and headed for the on ramp of highway 51 south. I rode this ribbon of highway for about 17 miles with lite traffic and running between 80 and 85 in the diamond lane, all the way to my exit. I sure did want to keep going but had to head for work. By the time I had hit downtown Phoenix the sun was shinnig brightly and the temp was at 70 degrees. Now all I can think about is the ride home!

    I have been dreaming of a way to install a ladder rack and tool boxes! I see motorcycles all day when I'm crossing town in a work truck!
