Hi, I was out for the first of the season yesterday. Just a quick shakedown run to make sure everything was okay after a coolant change. Did about 30 miles. Today its snowing and blowing here in Southern Ontario.

Well Rich, you sound like you're all set for the season. Now all you need is to break that knee in for the longer trips you have planned...............
Good friend of mine had his knee replaced about two months ago. Amazing, the technology we have. |
