I took the bike out for a ride this morning, just because I could, pissing with rain, windy as fuck and I had a great time. Obviously it would be nicerer in the summer, but at least the roads were quiet. I keep reading on Facebook about people putting their machines away for the winter and I don't u...

VFR handlebars are quite mild, I must admit that when I got mine I didn't like them and decided to fit some risers when I could afford too.
