    Can't believe it was 70 degree's yesterday in VA. Took advantage of it and went for a great ride through the woods and got some good shots of the new fall bodywork.

    My daughter mentioned that there was no snow there. Now I see the proof. Dang!

    Yeah it's crazy - my kids turned 4 on Saturday and we had a party in the backyard. Last year there was 2 feet of snow on the ground.

    Nice paint job. You put dual purpose tires on this bike , didn't you? How do you like them?

    Thanks - it's actually plastic-dip on the tank with a metalizer... was really impressed with the finish - photo's don't really show it but it looks like antique bronze.

    Yeah the tires are on/off road 80/20 ish. Frankly I love them - they give a bit of that off-road noise at low speed on-road but other wise they're bad-ass. The ride is great on-road although I don't tend to take it over 70 most of the time. It's nice to be able to cut through gravel tracks or though some light dirt paths when I need to.

    Front - Bridgestone Front TW101 Trail Wing 100/90H-19 Blackwall Tire - 055891
    Back - Duro Rear HF904 Median 130/90S-16 Blackwall Tire - 25-90416-130-TT

    Thanks for the info ! Not that I plan to put tires like these on my Seca900, but they could ne great on a Seca550, if I ever buy one.
