First Ride Today
04/13/11 at 15:53:50

Well I took my S40 out on a test run today just around my hood . Its a lot diffirent than the bigger bikes I have rode and a whole hell of a lot lighter than anything I have ever rode . But it does handle well and has a smooth ride and take-off But I dont like the lightness of the bike in tight turns ( it seems to light in ass end ). I have never rode a belt drive so its a little strange not having that chain slap on take-offs but I like the feeel of it .. Well I'm gonna replace the back brakes tomorrow and do a oil change and tune-up and I guess I'm off to discover new places on my new ride ... Wish me luck and LORD keep the idiots in cages awake and alert when a bike is close Wink

I finally got to ride to work today, first time of the season. Right about 40° when I left home, but its absolutely beautiful out there right now. Almost 70° and sun is shinin'. Chaps kept me nice a cozy, fingers didn't even get too cold. But I did learn that I need to wear my chin mask when its below 45. That was the only thing that got cold.

Where did you get that degree symbol,the little circle? ALT+0176. Hold the Alt key down and type the numbers 0176 and it will magically appear after you hit the 6.

Might not work in win xp It works in all versions of windows, guaranteed. Are you doing it correctly? Press and hold the left 'alt' key type in using the num pad '0176' now you may release the 'alt' key.

Seems to work for me.° Their method works too, but I like the fewer buttons one. Oh, and the symbol won't pop up until you let go of the 'alt' key. Hope that helps!
