+1 on the winter thing and I'm on PTO today.
I guess that I'm a late bloomer. When I was in high school a couple of buddies had Vmaxes which I am still infatuated with today. I moved to the "big city" of Indianapolis and didn't have a garage so I lost what little interest I had over time. I was always more of a car guy but a life event pushed me towards bikes.
First Bike - FZ07
Learned to ride on this one, but I never really liked it which surprised me because of all of the FZ fans out there.
