I was thinking a nap on Saturday sounded exciting.

What's Sunday's weather supposed to be like?

Tried on the gear - weight gain doesn't keep it from fitting.

insured Lili . . .

Might just ride tomorrow.

Wish I had been out riding today, but I've been caring for a fiancee who's recovering from a tonsillectomy.   :P  Seriously. Not. Fun.

However, it wasn't all bad... she did let me take her Saturn Sky out for a top-down cruise today.  Not as cool as riding the Duc, but still more fun than a fully enclosed cage, and it was GREAT to be out in the sun.

Man, on my way to work from the fiancee's house in Sandy, I almost stopped in Stevenson to switch from the cage to the Duc... then looked at the thermometer.  33 degrees!   :o  Most of me does fine riding in the cold, but I kinda need my hands to function longer than 10 minutes if I want to make it to Bingen from Stevenson.  I wonder if the alternator on an SS can handle a pair of heated gloves?

Most Ducs have a wire pre split out for after market heated items. At least it is in the wiring diagrams.

Hm, I'm not having any luck finding a spare accessory lead in the schematic for an '01 SS, or any suitable fuses to rob from. You may have to settle for a fused harness to run off the battery, unless my service manual has the dumb. It should have enough juice, though. I doubt gloves draw any more wattage than an extra lightbulb would, and since we share the same power plant, I assume your bike has the same 3 phase nuclear reactor of an alternator. I bet you could squeeze a heated jacket in, too, but that'd have to be getting close to the maximum.
