    I swear, I will never stop talking about how great hippo hands are. I wear the same pair of gloves year round with them. Well, when I can actually ride. This is what the next 10 days look like for me:

    Hoping theres a few days where I can still commute on a bike. We got about an inch overnight but roads now are fine.

    Just find a big open parking lot and start with big circles. Look past your shoulder and start increasing speed and lean angle, you'll get it in no time. Then becomes the challenge of elbow. I never quite got there, close, but no luck

    Find some super sticky name brand tires, hit an open parking lot and send it low and slow. First or second gear gradually getting lower will do it. Body position is huge also. Hanging off on one cheek will get your knee significantly lower.

    BP not great here but was more clearing off my friend's Ninja chicken strips.

    Ahh beat me to it. But yes, this. Or go to the track and you'll start dragging as you get more comfortable. I dragged on my third day in a long stretched out left hander, now its a its a struggle to not drag.

    I refuse to get hippo hands just due to my fear of spiders making them a home. :rofl:

    I didn’t like how I wired my heated grips so I had to change it during lunch at work. I love carrying tools with me.

    Stock the leads follow down the wiring from the control pods down the to the neck, along the right (throttle) side of the frame and then pop out into the electrical area with the rest of the loom around the main front tank bolt.

    The snow and ice make it a little tricky this time of year.
