Yes it is away for the winter, too much salt on the roads. I drive 1 hour each way to work on the hiway everyday, and dont want to take the chance of bouncing off a gaurd rail or even over a curb. So its all tucked away in my heated garage till spring.
Yes thats a GSX-R1000
I drive a Ford Escape or a Pontiac Sunfire now
(Damn I miss those heated seats)
