My favorite time of the year, weather is great, leaves are beautiful and I have a broken left leg as of Oct. 13. Operation date to plate and pin it is Nov. 2. So since Oct. 13th, neither bike has been ridden, just cranked to keep lubricated and battery up. Will be 6 wks. after surgery before they put a boot on and then probably several weeks before they allow weight on the foot. By that time it will be Valentines. Big bike fell on my leg when front wheel slipped off broken pavement on a back road. Sort of like "Laugh In" comedy show on TV (for you older guys) when comedian Arte Johnson rode a tricycle and at the end of skit he just fell over. No damage to cruiser, just my leg. So to all of you riders, things can happen when you are almost standing still. Ride safe.
While getting ready for my upcoming trip to western Kentucky for deer hunting, leaving next week, I checked the odometer and took her in for a 20/24 thousand mile service (the trip to Stecoah, NC last month added 7,500 miles). The miles have really racked up on a bike not yet six months out of the crate!
I'm still planning on our trip to the southern tip of SA next March with OCR & friends, got a new passport with extra visa pages on the way. I can see my Moto-Mule trailer becoming our 'support van', with a special function if OCR's knees have a problem.

OK, testing at 40F using gloves without gauntlets; I normally don't wear these gloves below 60F except for slower off-road travel. I ran a fair amount at 70-75 mph, and a mile+ at 80, and some more at 55-65. I Didn't get cold hands. It's quite the step above the Barkbuster Storm cups for wind chill protection -- and sidewinds are knocked back too thanks to the curve at the ends. The handscreens didn't move around or flutter at all at 80 mph. They'd probably be fine at 90 too, but no opportunity to find out. I'd say they are a success!Going to test these muthas out soon since I tend to ride the dualsport especially in the colder weather. Will fit either my NC or my WR. 4 short pieces of double-sided velcro that go to the handguards' aluminum bars, and two quick release straps I made that slip in between the perch and bars to provide some curvature on the interlocking floor mat material (I bought at Costco, available elsewhere as well). I cut each to to 18" long and 12" wide at outside ends and 11" on the inside, then rounded the corners slightly. The handscreens clear most (all?) windscreens and all bodywork at full lock.

Holly farkles, greenboy, that's one astonishing World Command Center
I bow in awe, considering the wire-work this required. Nice job!
