Did he also tell you that I asked his advice, then didn't take it?

He was suggesting a mesh jacket with rain gear to put over it, but I'm just not a fan of mesh. Of course, the more I thought about things after we hung up the phone, I realized I didn't really give him a true picture of how and when I'd be riding. I had told him I might ride in very little rain and probably warmer weather, but I've decided I'm riding regardless of weather (probably down to the 40's and 50's and rain or shine). I really like my choice of jacket, just wish it was easier to get to the armpit zippers to open them up.

Most likely. Depends what day you'll be there. I planned on calling you this weekend, but see that you typed that message at 4am. Will wait till later in the afternoon to give you a call, or you can call me if you're up and see this message. I'm normally in bed by 10:30, so don't call after that.

Sure do. Have my daughter's bday party Sunday, so I'll try to call Saturday. Anytime better than another?

Not too early but anytime... I'm not sure what I got going on.

My "fat bottomed girl"

Left side is larger than the right, but they both stick out 20" from center, for total 40" width. That's 6" wider than handlebar width, adding only 3" to each side. I'm thinking I should have gone with silver on the bags and the top of the case, simply to try and reflect some heat. Oh well, there is always paint if I feel I need it.

Looking good!

I almost walked out with the same bike today (again

)
It was almost the most expensive fork oil I've ever bought. Price went up before I could (finally) pull the trigger. Oh well.

damn avery, you really are farkling that girl out quick. looks nice, too bad we are going to have those street bikes with us or we would DS it to copperhead.

Good job, I like!

Yeh looks pretty good. The Vstrom is on my current list of future bikes.

That space under the left bag almost looks perfect for a tool tube.
