Yeah spring is just around the corner on the calender, but I don't think anyone has told that to Mother Nature that yet.

Welcome to the forum and completed some of your bucket lists items. Beware of spring riding until the streets and roads are cleared of the sand and debris left from the highway crews. That sand left at the intersections and corners can catch you off guard. I usually wait until after a few good solid rains or thunderstorms to clean the streets.

Bob, welcome to the forum. I picked mine up three years ago when I retired. Great bike.
Spring is just around the corner and we just picked up another 5" of snow last night here in Rhode Island.
