Default Winter is here and this is all I got...

Well, we do enjoy snow skiing and boarding, but let's face it, this thing stuck in the garage w/not too many near term opportunities to be ridden hard like how she likes it is just sad. So I thought I'd snap a picture so you could share my pain...

Yep, I worked with Mark at Motografix on the original color combinations (provided some suggestions). He also made me some special RR badges --> Motografix protectors/number boards (disregard the tidy tail... that was an original, now I have a different "original")

Aren't you in New Mexico? Surely, it's still warm enough to ride. Just get a nose piece for your helmet so it doesn't fog up if your riding around 30-50 degrees.

This is what I ended up doing 2yrs ago... they didn't have any tidy tails out at that point --> Custom Tidy Tail

Then, as Tidy Tails came out, I honestly didn't like any of them 100%, just bits and pieces of each... so I piggy backed on what Pappy (member) did and used the Watsen flush mounts in the rear along with a Competition Werkes plate light (~$10) and then used a piece of aluminum angle for the plate mount. Here's a link to what Pappy did --> Watsen Design rear turn signals

Here's a close up of how mine turned out. I reused the rubber grommets too for the plate mount.

It is if you live in the "normal" parts of NM... but I live at an elevation higher than Denver. We're at 7,200'. So we can some cold and snow and usually a bunch of it. Then they have to sand the roads, and that leaves a mess let alone the danger of sand on the roads... then the snow they plowed melts and causes other messes and ices over at night.

You see where this is going, eh?! Just a mess till we thaw out totally.

Really a nice job on the bike...it looks great!

Are you getting good snowboarding snow? Nearby me (in Lake Tahoe) we're having fairly bad snow...not like last year where it just kept dumping!
