I did end up taking it for a short ride today just before sunset, holy grap is cold out. This bike is sooo sweet. I got a lot of looks, not sure if its for the bike or the idiot riding it when its below freezing.

Richard1 - Yes I did buy the bike at Honda of Troy...after getting two other dealers to battle on the lowest price 
H of T matched the lowest price and owner/salesman Dave was very nice, didnt pressure the 50 times I went in to sit on the bikes.

Richard 1- I sure did check yours out..that tire is a monster. I do love the fender, wish I could get one for the stock tire width or maybe a little wider. I must have missed ya on friday, I was there til about 5pm and yes Dave was loading up my bike. When its warmer, and your bike is in once piece, we will have to get together.

I had a closing in Troy (I'm a realtor) scheduled for 5pm and it got pushed back to 6 so I killed time at the dealer. We were probably there at the same time.
Low & Mean are working on some fender options. I have some Kury Smoked Bezel turns signals that would look alful good on yor bike. Let me know if your interested.
Yeah, we'll have to hook up. "Stonewheel" on hear lives close, so we have gotten together a few times.

Were in Dayton, west of Columbus. I think you are NW of Columbus? From here, it is about an hour to Columbus. Do I have you in the right area? I'm all for a road trip if it works out.

Couldnt wait
I need to look for some roads to test out the bike. I got tired of looking at the bike in the garage and took it for a spin today. I was out for about 30-45minutes, 25*....the rest of me was alright, but fingers however were frozen from about the middle to the tips. I need some warm but not to thick riding gloves, any suggestions?

Buy the "medium" weight gloves... Also, the thicker gloves aren't too bad, after you get a feel for your control's and bike of course...

when it gets too cold for normal gloves, i look to the dirtbike side. the fox polar paws for example. they make a big difference in keeping fingers warm.
