I'm in on the March 10-11 class. Perhaps we can make this an STN event? Sign up for this one!

I could polish it twice in one day when I was a much younger man.

Fired up the wood stove and spent the day going through the Jr. 50. Time to sell it so some lucky kid can be introduced to motorcycles.

Not yet, but that day will come. Either a mid.late 90's Daytona or if someone gifts me a 93 1000S

The Sargent seat I fitted onto my 12GS was
the
best mod I did to that bike. I went from 50 mile numb bum to 300 miles let's have a half hour rest and keep going bum.
I'm patiently waiting for the Spring release of the Versys Sargent saddle.

Sargent's are nice. Congrats! Wish they made one for the FZ6. I tried a Corbin and hated it. Will send the stock seat in to Spencer's eventually.
It wasn't today but yesterday tried out the Go Cruise throttle control. It fits on your throttle grip and rests on your brake lever. I rode on I-35 last night and it kept me at a pretty good pace for about 10 minutes without dropping. That's enough for long rides to get the cramps or whatever out of your hand, that's why I got it. For $20 shipped not a bad investment.
Yesterday it got into the 60's, I rode about 250 miles. Today it got into the mid-60's, I just rode to get lunch. Tomorrow rain.

I had a 06 FZ6. Great bike, but even after 30k on it I could not stand the seat over 400 miles or so. I bought an extra stock seat to send to Spencer's so I could always switch back, but I never got around to sending it in.

problem with the jacket wiring. Off to Gerbings UK it goes...brrr, chilly out.
Well-Gerbings turned that around in less than 3 working days and gave me a brand new jacket.

Sounds like a good time to go for a ride (did you get the snow tires yet)
