Saw bikes everywhere in NYC this weekend and earlier today. Even the motorcycle cops are out. If the temperature keeps trending as it has, we won’t have to wait too much longer until we can comfortably ride again. ---

Thinsulate is awesome. Haven’t ridden much. Took a quick ride the other day, just a few miles to warm the bike up and keep it fresh. ---

It’s trademarked material that’s been around for a while, same as Goretex and such - in trademark sense, not function. Thinsulate is some artificial fleece I think. ---

The brand is called something flyswitch. Some off brand stuff? I am not sure, but is like $15…:rofl. It works pretty well. The only thing is it is not really a “motorcycle” glove, but more a snowmobile glove but not bulky. ---

I drove to pick up the bike and forgot my keys, like an idiot. I remembered my helmet, gloves, jacket, even my battery off the tender, but some how I forgot my keys. Didn’t have time to go back home and get them either ☹ Not a total waste though. I took the time to install a new rear brake rotor. Galfer wave. ![http://i131.photobucket.com/albums/p282/HiSpeed48/GalferWaveRotor.jpg](http://i131.photobucket.com/albums/p282/HiSpeed48/GalferWaveRotor.jpg) does that look like its on backwards? it didn’t come with instructions. ---

Pretty sure you got it right, the supports should point in the direction of rotation. I almost forgot my keys today as well, and tried to roll the bike out with the disc lock on it :ponder Not having slept for 20 hours probably didn’t help. ---
