Last year .. as I recall... I got to a lot more riding up through January. ITs been a lot colder and wetter this Dec.

I took a short ( 30 minute) ride on ole fatty. Fun but cold.  Wife really wanted to hop on the Savage (she doesn't want me to sell it until she learns to ride on that). She also has a girlfriend that has large bike but wont ride as she is scared of it. I also have a guy at church that "kinda" wants to buy the bike on terms... (I am not a fan).

I will say, there was a time or two I would have jumped on the savage, to make some "honey do" task, but i would not do it on the 1100, and instead just took the truck (of course, on either bike I would have froze).

OK .. well who is that with cause.. my insurer isn't willing to give me any break... $175/yr for the savge... $225/yr for the 1100.. and I have to pay the whole $400 if I want to keep both!

(yes I realize that only $33 per month.. but is on top of the $325 I pay for the 3 cars.. and it has to be for the year and on the Credit card)  :'(

PS; Bike runs like friken top.. all new tires, havent hit 7k miles yet.  Needs.... nothing but ridin'!  If it were a yo-yo .. I would be doing tricks.

I have less than 100 miles on it. I like every aspect except the weight. I nicknamed it "ole fatty". Pretty fun running up through the gears. She likes being ridden at 60 and above... where the savage likes 60 and below. I could see me riding for hours with no issue.
