took mine into work today. It was a bit chilly this morning at 6am but this afternoon will make up for it. Changed the oil yesterday, pulled all of the fairings off, hand washed the fronts and backs of all the fairings, and today I am bringing the rest of the bike to the car wash for a good cleaning. Then I get to put all the fairings back on.
