Things are looking up

[oldgoat]

Got my first ride of the season in today hyea:

Had fitted a whole bunch of expensive options (in my books anyway) over the winter:

All of Spyderpops stuff for an '08 GS
BajaRon's swaybar
Lightly used RT front shocks
Jim's belt tensioner.

My vibration has gone now, must have been the belt. It handles better. The hot air is being deflected.

Roll on more rides.

BTW: After I bought this '08 GS last June I quickly installed a Givi screen. It was fine but not quite tall enough for me. I then got the 25" Touring screen with the side deflectors. This is fabulous in the cold/cooler weather & keeps the wind off me & my hands.
Might put the Givi back on in the height of summer - I'll see. Or I might just remove the deflectors to let the breeze in.

One happy Canuck today.

You're one brave Canuck for riding in freezing weather! I plan to head out soon too, but 35 is still too cold!:joke:

Still waiting for the snow to melt off my road. Don't care about the temperature when that finally happens.

Glad those shocks found a happy home. Give 'em a workout!

On our pitiful roads they are guaranteed a good workout at any speed.

The Canadians are packing up and leaving the Keys. Spring must be on its way!

The Quebeckers arrive 'en masse' at the border post south of Montreal in their huge RVs & cause a considerable jam & wait. Can be most annoying if you're caught in it.
