There is a local shop that allows riders to store gear when they head up north.

While black was not my favourite colour, I have ended up with a black car, a black jeep and a black bike for when I purchased the Vstrom I got a deal on the last "black" one. So I continued the theme just like you with everything black. Black crash bars, black top case, and black side cases, with black racks. Because of this I have a black riding pants, black boots and black leather riding jacket with black gloves.<br /><br />In a long about way I am letting you know that your black theme is looking great.<br /><br />bob<br /><a href="http://www.wetcoastscootin.blogspot.com" rel="nofollow">Riding the Wet Coast</a>Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05258612401956399482noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-575417631109784818.post-50765999226894511572011-12-08T10:41:10.384-05:002011-12-08T10:41:10.384-05:00@Brady

It sounds like you need a trip to break them in.
