Up here in Western Washington, the weather has not been condusive to scooter play for a week. I haven't been out since last Sunday. It was hovering around freezing through Wednesday with rain mixed with snow forcast through Saturday. Sunday is looking good though. My BT014's were as smooth as a baby's butt so I just put a set of burnout tires on my Gixxer which I retrieved from the junk pile at my local suzuki dealer. I keep my busa in the garage most of the winter because I don't want rock chips in the fairing and I hate getting all that dirt and grime on her bright shining finish. Found a really nice BT56 for the rear of my Gixxer and an almost new BT11 for the front. Since it's to cold to rail, I figured I'd burn off a few tires, practicing my burnout skills until spring. By that time the new 05's will be in and new tires will come with the new bike. I really feel for you guys in the midwest and northeast, where you can't ride all winter. Dang, you guys must need psychiatric help by the time you get dry pavement in the spring?
