It was a Goldwing - rider was probably one step away from having the roof up lol.

Fun fact: Goldwings have foot warmers. Add heated grips, heated seat, some heated gear, and a 4 foot tall windshield along with those foot warmers, well, temps don't matter anymore lol.
If your bike weighs more than 500lbs it’s probably a couch.

Exactly.

Comfort is so much more than weight.

Plenty of purpose-built machines that top 500# and wouldn't be classified as comfortable.

Heavy-weight, hard-tail customs will have you crying all the way to the chiropractor after a 15-minute ride.

Rider triangle, suspension, etc are more indicative of comfort than weight.
 
Niceish day today. It is funny going to Costco with the bike, I've to be careful not to buy in excess.

All of a sudden when the rain passed it got sunny and surprisingly warm up here in Peterborough. The sun only lasted about five minutes unfortunately. This never ending dreary weather is crappy

Not sure if I will make it home before dark but I'm kind of half hoping the streets have dried up a little bit so I could at least go around the block lol.

Take the Spyder... they're great in adverse weather :p

It's the new bike I want to ride. 😉

My Spyder is all packed away in its winter slumber as well.

Tomorrow afternoon is looking quite hopeful for a little scoot somewhere however. All the rain has washed down the roads pretty well as well.

I was in Peterborough yesterday, picking my daughter up. I can't believe how torn up 35 is. They just repaved a bunch of it.
 
Finally got the new bike out today after changing the oil. Weather still was kinda ****** (persistent drizzle all freakin day here), but it was what it was - no salt left on the roads at least.

I did a whole 1.5km lol.

At least I can say I've ridden it now.
 
Love to funnel some heat your way ....

It'll be gone in like 3 days(especially in toronto)

Maybe @V-Tom is still out there?
I haven't been riding. Flew to Calgary for Christmas at my Daughter's. Decided to leave my bike at the dealership here while I was away. Routine maint and tracking down an annoying issue. Bike is still there waiting for some parts but I should have it back this upcoming week (weather dependant.)

ps: Forgot to mention I had that wicked cough end of November. Dr said it was Brochitis. Meds kept it under control though December but it came back and It is pretty much gone now.
