Introductions / Is winter over yet? How about now? How about now?

What's up everyone?
If I survive winter I'm looking to get doing some more STing this year. I have a 98 VFR800 at the moment. Last year I did a trip to Chicago on a friends Concours1400 and it was awesome. I don't know that the VFR would be as good. But it should be good for some screwing around and some trips. I have a feeling I will eventually want to make my way to a ST1300 or FJR1300, though at the moment money doesn't allow for that. I also have a 2000 RC51 that I use for track days with ZARS mostly, it's track/race only now which is fine as the VFR really is a great sporty street bike. Well it needs it's suspension refreshed in a bad way, but that's in the works after the RC is done (going to COtA in March). I traded in my Hyperstada for the VFR. I wanted out of the payment, it didn't quite fit me as well as I had originally thought, and the aftermarket wasn't making things fast enough for that bike (because everyone with a Panigale wants cruise control but no on a Hyperstrada does).
