w00t! ninjette! (+ winter riding tip)

Dropped a Cleveland on this:


I'm really digging the handling, and it can easily stay well ahead of traffic, plus some folks are getting ~100mpg on them too. Bolt on aftermarket fuel injection is sweet option for later also, when I save up for it.

Serendipitously, my helmet needed a new shield, and the first one I saw on ebay was a dual lens snowmobile shield. It arrived yesterday, so I wiped the ice of my seat and went for a ride, what a huge difference in visibility!! I would recommend such a shield for anyone riding in the winter, maybe even a breath box if you don't want to lift the shield at stops.
