Nice pic Red, and hello to N3, Rick.

You guys are soft, I swear man. I grew up in Northern Ontario, with 8 ft of snow every month and -60 deg. C (windchill) temps.

OK, so if we rode south, like you mean to Mexico or Florida?

I agree with you little_bandit. Although I despise the cold (unless it's over 80, it's cold) I love riding even more. However, Mexico or Florida sounds good to me. :)

Soft? Should I remind you who was shaking like crazy on our first trip together,down to Fort Erie? Not necesserly south of the border as a first trip of a new season.
South as a oposit to North. Or as warmer versus colder.

Soft? I don't remember seeing you on any rides during September/November last year...

I'm down for whatever, I'm going to be freezing my *** off in my suit regardless.
 
i am down for riding to where ever. the winter has made everyone soft. we rode in the snow, hail and pouring rain last year. cant let a litle chilly weather stop us.
spring is right around the corner. before i can even think of riding i will have to get the bike out of the shed. not looking forward to getting up a grassy hill and wooden stairs in the spring.

Let me know when you ready. I'll give you a hand. (I'll help you with the bike - does it sound better?)

Is this like a Team Streetsville suit? Why nobody posted that we are getting the same suits?

thanks for the offer. i think i should be fine. i have had lots of practice with my dirtbikes over the years. it is just going to be a litle more difficult with a bike that weighs twice as much and has slick tires.

i thought everyone knew we were getting streetsville sunday ride suits. there are atleast 5 of us who got the suits.

Well, Mr. Rick, the only shaking you heard was the RUMBLE of the 1250 Bandit engine as it passed your v-twin 1000. I think that was the shaking if I recall. Correct me if I'm wrong?

Guys, guys, guys, I really think the idea of Streetsville Sunday Ride Suits. is awesome. But, I think some rethinking is in order - I'm just not ready for the assless chaps... ;-(

In line 4 does not rumble. Maybe V-twin, but for sure not in line 4...

Well, the Bandit has such low-end torque - I swear I feel a bit of a rumble passing those v-stroms at 1,500 RPM. I don't know, the rumble could be because the RPM is so low, the bike is about to stall out. Maybe I need a tune up...

It's that guy on the Red Kawi that concerns me. To keep ahead of that 900R, she's gotta scream a little bit. 8,000 in 3rd is definitely the Trick of the Tail.
