Serowbot - great pic and I love your xt225. I wondered about your name - I thought Serows were nimble sorts of antelopes, but didn't know until recently that there was a bike by the same name. Glad to know your Savage can serve as a DP! I am longing for a DP ever since I rode the DR200SE in MSF class - what a zippy little bike that was, and it just hugged the ground.
You are fortunate, my friend, to still be among the living, after crashing your Ninja at 85 mph! and then to be t-boned earlier this year! Clearly someone is watching out for you...you must have built up a great deal of good karma.
Redwolf, sorry your electric gloves failed you on a long trip - that's hard, when you have to stop frequently to warm up. I used to sit at red lights and put my hands on Thump's big cylinder.
Good luck with the Hippo Hands!
Srinath, that sounds like the Ultimate Solution, that you have - sounds very toasty! I admire that you have the wiring figured out - a fellow here at work gave up, fighting with his wires every morning. He got a big BMW with all the fairings and is cocooned now.
Flcruzr, I promise to be careful. It is maddening right now because it keeps raining and then freezing at night, so there is a thin sheen over everything. The cage is getting an unaccustomed workout. Maybe tomorrow!
What a great bunch you all are! Happy Winter Riding - and happy desert riding to the lucky Serows among us.
