Nice to read about it since that's all I can do until mine arrives. Apparently it's already arrived at the LA ports, but I may not have it for another week...Soooo hard to wait!.......😬 It will be worth the wait. The trade-off will be that being in southern California you will be out riding while we are mostly hibernating with our wheels until May. The exception of course are the riders who live in arctic regions of the world; mainly Canada, Northern Europe. I call them Penguins. I have great respect for them though. They get far too much snow to let it stop the fun. In DC it doesn't snow frequently enough for us to take that attitude toward ice and snow. The weather here is so loopy that we can usually stay inside and lay low until the next 60F winter day that melts all 12" of snow in one day Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rama Douglas Posted December 29, 2018 Share Posted December 29, 2018 Well I just got back from a ride on the ol trusty V5F and what an amazing companion it has been. About 1920 miles on it since April. I am so ready to receive the new wheel! 😁 Would love to go to New Zealand some day. I'm afraid I wouldn't want to leave... And yes we're certainly more than spoiled down here with great riding weather! 😎 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's bright yellow coating not only keeps this winter warrior warm, but alerts the females of the species that it's time to breed. 😂😂😀👍 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looking forward to linking up with you on that DIY stand. Had a great time on the ride across the city. You know what time it is: their Capitol, our city. 😀👍 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
