Default 70+F and Sunny in December Time to Ride the S1K

So far the only thing I've found beneficial in Texas is the opportunity to ride my S1000RR in middle of winter and have it be 70+ degrees F outside. Although I still hate the fact that Texas is also one of the scariest places to be on a bike.

It also shot some sound/video clips of my bike's exhaust system. I've been running the Brock's Performance CT Single Full Titanium Exhaust System on my bike since June but never captured any videos of the system. I loved the system...not too loud and extremely lightweight. One of the only systems that actually uses a lot of r&d to develop more power. Piping diameters are significantly greater than stock. I'm also running a Power Commander V with a system specific map developed by Brock's Performance.

Upper 50's here in VA, so I went out for short ride. A bit of rain, but nothing to slow me down.

Great way to start the new year.

Coastal VA was a high of 67. Awesome day. Just under 200 miles and two trips across the Jamestown ferry. Awesome way to kick off the new year!!!

yesterday (Jan 1) was north of 70 here in the San Francisco Bay Area. I went out riding with a few buddies, and we ended up having lunch at a good handburger joint that has a deck right on the beach just south of Santa Cruz where we could watch the surfers (and of course the girlz). Sunny, warm...simply an excellent winter day And the riding was even better!
