I can't imagine riding a 360 for any serious distance but it would be a fun toy to play with around town. Today even a 750 sounds a bit small but I enjoyed distance riding on my BMW R60 (600 cc) and my CX-500-C back in the day. These days I am on a 1731 cc Victory Vision, pretty much a dedicated touring bike, although I ride it everywhere.
What did you do with your bike today?

The wax is a good idea. I used my blue scotch brite pad, the one they say will not scratch, because I had little choice. Nothing else seemed to be touching the white paint transferred to my fairing. I used the window cleaner because the bike manufacturer has recommended it prior to using an adhesive attachment for their fairing lowers and I figured they knew what would really work. It turned out to be a winning combination for me.Thanks.
I usually use products from Meguiars. I use the glaze for cleaning and the Caranuba wax to shine![/URL][/IMG]![]()
The road looks clear to me. How low were the temperatures?I'm hoping for another warm up before the end of the season. The forcast is highs of 40 degrees for at least the next week. This is what we had today just north of Minneapolis/St. Paul area.

Do not test your rev limiter ever on a stored engine. An aluminum engine, which most of us have, does not expand very evenly. It is why we always wait a minute or two after starting the engine before we ride away. Frankly, I never even pull out until I can feel a warm engine with my hand, which only usually takes 60 to 90 seconds in the worst of conditions. Your rev limiter on any bike assumes you have thoroughly warmed the engine. Never even think about using it when your bike is in winter storage. Even if it keeps running, you are damaging your engine by treating it that way RoadRacer. A winter regime that works follows one of two regimens. One is to treat the fuel with something like Stabil and then walk away and ignore the engine while providing the battery with a battery tender. The other approach is to actually ride at least 20 miles every few weeks, for me that is about once a week most winters. 20 miles is enough to circulate all oil and to warm the engine enough to boil off any acids that are resulting from combustion processes.Just started my bike in garage and tested rev limiter, like I do almost every time...
Offcourse waiting a bit to get engine warm up and then dydydydydydydydyyyyy!
