It would take me a lifetime or most likely never get off the shelf.  But then again if it was top shelf, it wouldn't be gathering any dust at all.

Congrats on your SS1000!

Thanks guys!!  Yes, my IBA is the SaddleSore 1000.

Brian, you are correct that I was learning about crimping a few weeks ago with my lighting project. I did buy a nice crimping tool.
My biggest concern with installing the Rostra is locating the proper wires on the bike to connect into.

I saw my C14 today for the first time in months.  I picked up my registration sticker last week and wanted to get it on the bike before I lost it.   There it was under a cover, tucked between a 'vette & a drag car.  Just like I had left it.  No fob with or I would have turned the key to check the battery voltage.  Should be no problem there with the tender hooked up.  Winter storage is in a friend's heated garage.  I usually just drop it off in November and pick it up in April depending on weather.  My last big ice fishing trip is this week so come on April!

The temp was in the mid 70's today, and I had to ride.  Been a while, as unemployment mandates how limited funds are spent.  Filled up, $2.15 a gallon for premium, WOW!  Realized too late that I had left my earplugs at home.  Bad move.  Then realized that every school zone was active at 20MPH.  Was out for an hour and made only 20 miles, added that  home bound traffic jams had already started too.   It was still refreshing just to feel the bike work out beneath me.  Hope to ride again tomorrow, before the cold and wet arrive again. 

A great week to all, riding or not.  tomp

Glad that you were out riding. I'm sure even the short slow ride helped refresh your mind.
You'll find a job.  Positive thinking is key.

After over a week of flu and another week of horrible weather, I finally got out on Sunday for a 2 hour ride.  Rewarded the bike after by washing it (well, and the car too, they were both way overdue).  If the rain chooses not to invade this coming Sun, I will take the bike to RIC on Sun to visit mom.

Hope the weather co-operates for you.  Low mid 60's here this weekend.  Need to get the Dyna, RT, and Ninja out soon, before they commit mutiny in the garage.  tomp

Glad you're feeling better Max.

Tom  I can only imagine the ruckus that 4 bikes could cause.  I only have two bikes and have my hands full keeping both happy.

Well, got to ride the C14 yesterday AM, and the Dyna PM.  The RT need a new license plate from the PO, and the Ninja needs a new front tire.  Guess those two will be left in the garage until needed changes can be made them.  Rain here all day today and again tomorrow.  Beautiful and in the 60's the weekend. 

Hope all that can ride get to ride, ASAP....

Yup, ridiculously nice 3 days ago! I saw 75 degrees on the Connie LCD in Austin. Not so much today.

I'm feeling that pain too.

Back in 2012, I had seven road worthy bikes in the garage.  All needed insurance, inspections, and registrations.  All due at different months.  Now that was a simply crazy on my part.  Expensive too. . .tp

>"What did you do to your Concours today? "

Took it to RIC and back (mom visit) ((Main St-> 5-> 199)).  Average from RIC to Williamsburg 35F, low 32F.  At low 30's heated vest/grips on max can't keep up anymore (but the seat is on fire).  LOTS of deer tonight.  Yeesh.  One was just standing on the shoulder staring at me, had to slow from 60 to 20 and he finally ran off.

The second leg/half of the trip ((64)) was average of 42F, much better (but boring, of course).
