For sure. It's a "look back" bike. You can't help but look back at it as you walk away. Chrome wheels really take it up a level, too. I'm glad mine is silver. I heard that's the fastest one.)
Where did you ride today?

I just came back from my first ride in Texas two-up on the ST. Beautiful 80f day. Rode an hour and a half. My wife loved it. Happy wife, happy life.

I probably did that a lot.
I truly liked the blacked out look, with the exception of the chromed mufflers.
It was subtle and stealthy, reaching supra-legal speeds without a lot of noise or fuss, so I preferred it stock. Black wheels for me, thank you.
I wish I could find that dealer poster of the Blackbird with the SR-71 stealth bomber in the background.

I had a pretty gruelling ride yesterday. 530 mile round trip from the south east of England to Preston, Lancashire and back. Pouring with rain when I set out at 07.30 and 5 degrees C. Rain continued for the first 150 miles, most of which was on motorways with heavy traffic and resultant spray adding to the fun. The sun came out around Stoke on Trent but did nothing for the temperature which dropped to 3 degrees C. Thank goodness for my Gerbing heated jacket liner and trousers!!
Stayed dry the rest of the way and for the return, not pleasant but, hey, it's what I get paid for!!
Thank you ST1100TX for telling us about your ride in 80 degrees F, I'm not jealous, really!

I've already been punished. It's only going to get up to 56f today and mid-60's the rest of the week. Brutal.
I've had some challenging rides, but none like yours. I was miserable just reading about it.
I did not mean to hit "reply" but the forum software keeps thinking I did, and pops up a new reply box every time I view this thread... annoying as hell....
so now I'm using that space to "reply"
with this absolutely worthless nonsense post that will hopefully satisfy the computer and make it stop bugging me.

A nice day for an after Thanksgiving ride around Santa Barbara County today, I tried going to Solvang but the traffic was a mess so I made a u-turn and went over Tepusquet Canyon Road in both directions. 115 miles temps 70 for the high.
I did this after my morning 9 mile hike and then putting up the Christmas lights and other decorations.
Here are a few pictures

A short joy ride today sound 2 hours to cover 55 miles. Had to get an Ontario tag and stop to watch these geese in a pond.
Another day and another ST out on the road to Santa Barbara today, 100 mile ride and the temperature was 73 even with the clouds.
My favorite spot on Old San Marcos Road in Santa Barbara.

Was able to get out this afternoon for a 120 mile V-Strom ride. Rode my favorite Deckers loop. Here are a couple of pictures and the route.

Do you use studs in your tires?

Nope, they are illegal in Colorado.
