sunny with highs ranging from 75 to 97 for the next 10 days - - pretty much normal for this time of year - - You can tell that our best "season" is getting started with all of the snow birds returning to town and driving like idiots - - as much as I love the perfect riding weather from now through next May I also like it when the heat comes back and all of the snow birds fly away and the road is virtually empty for my morning ride to work
Riding season

A slingshade, F4 +5, and Baker Air wings have added time to my driving season.

Here in the Midwest, you never know what you're going to get. I was comfortable riding the Honda Goldwing in the upper 20 degree temps with all my heated gear and a tall wind screen. Not sure how long I'll last in the Sling with a tall windshield and proper gear and a sling shade. I have also realized that driving this thing in the rain or when the roads are wet is unsafe. I intentionally drove it twice in the rain and all it takes is for you to hit the gas a little too hard and the back end starts to slip out. I was even babying the throttle and it kept slipping. No more of that mess for me. The Goldwing did fine in the rain!

Switching out the Kenda tires for g-Force™ COMP-2™ A/S tires made a world of difference in handling wet roads. Another suggestion is to shut off the Traction Control if there is standing water and the risk of hydroplaning.

The Wife and I trailered down to Branson, Mo to see some shows and do some riding....day and half of nice weather for riding and rain---rain---rain. Seeing some good shows.

How do you like your jri GT'S? What did you have prior to installing the GTS for comparison? I have jri 1 ways and been thinking about having them changed to the GTs. 1 ways are due for rebuild.
