I plan on replacing the screen... got that one used on the cheap, needed it on short notice and short money, but it's a poor fit.

As far as the weather... that sucked bigtime, it was somewhere in the mountains east of Tucson in the middle of February. My local weather (and roads) are a lot more like FL.

I hear ya... my trip from ND to FL I was doing 80+ on the freeway and KILLED my average MPG...

i rode through Ike... got fuck'n SOAKED... but I was fuck'n laughing the whole time in my helmet... well... cept for when I passed other cars and was blinded for about 15 seconds...
