Woke this morning to a super-clear, cool, blue skyed, dry-roaded day. One of those days when you just HAVE to go for a morning ride.
So I did. Ever notice how much better the bike seems to run when the air is cold? Apart from running up behind traffic in a couple of the best corners, the ride was most excellent.
More please!

she said she would !!
Did a ride over xmas 2011 Te awamutu - Opotiki - Waioeka Gorge then down to Welly woodGassed up in Opotiki then hit the gorge would have been @ 0630 - 0700 in the morning no cars through there, road was dry got right into carving it up & before I knew it I was in Te karaka
fresh cool & dry air at that time of morning made scooter really sing I could feel it through the throttle unbelievable & AWESOME !!!
it certainly makes a differance with a bike using EFI what about a carb'd bike, would you get the same feeling/reaction from the bike ?
Made good time too !! Te awamutu to Patutahi 3hrs
I Used to jog but the ice cubes kept falling out of my glass

Much jealousy here Slofox! I'd like to go take the bike for a morning ride, but, it needs mechanical hugs.
I'll just troll on the netterwebs instead

The last couple of days that have been REALLY cold (at least for the 'tron) have made the tractor run a bit rough until it is thoroughly warm.
With the carb sort of sticking out the side of the bike, wind chill can keep things a little cold there abouts (i am guessing) so doesn't run as nice.
No issues when it is warm though. I have never ridden a bike with EFI so I don't know what the difference would be at the start of the ride.
@slofox, that was you I waved at this morning just out of Dinsdale ay?

To bad,it`s impossible down here to have a morning ride. Still a lot of roads a snow covert. And when free a lot of grit around. Need to wait a few days more.
