Riding in the frozen temps....

White is for crackers.... Epically Trife!

seriously, I have the nice white tank, sidepanels etc. intact. Why ruin a nice stock set-up when I know its going to get knocked over, hit, exposed to the salt and elements? As passe as you say flat black motorcycles are I never see any riding around. Those passe folks must keep 'em parked in the garage. Foul weather, boo hoo.

Later websters, I'm going to passe my fingers off, Hippo hands here I come!

Normally I wouldn't complan if the bike looked like shit, but your beemer was cherry and actually gave me a massive hard-on dressed in white with that red/orange seat.

Hang out a vespa for a whole week every day and you'll see plenty of flat black machines, they all come in for an inspection. Same with works. I'm getting sick of the flat black, urban commando hipsters who have ruined some beautiful original paint jobs with a freaking rattle can. I don't know if you saw it but Works had a really nice original XS-1 win mustard yellow that was stunning. The guy who wanted to buy wanted to paint it flat black and that became the deal breaker. If I wasn't trying to get married and pay off my cb750 addiciton that bike would be in my living room.

Anyway, I'm surprised you don;t have heated grips already, has the beemer nazi's (yeah I said it) not found you yet? I left them in montauk, but I have a pair of camo gloves I got at a sporting good store that were heated and took a 9v battery in the wrist. That way I wasn;t all wired up to the bike like I was it's bitch.
