Took the 12R to the dealership for service yesterday. It was a balmy 39F in wonderful mid-michigan. My hands were numb so I warmed them off the pipe! Man it was just good to be back on my bike...especially knowing that when it is done with the service it will have the new Diablo Rosso skins on. Let the ridding season begin!

Just picked my bike up from service, and another 40F ride. I can barely type.... I have the new Diablo Rosso skins on, and from my first ride I am happy. Let the ridding season begin.

Rosso's are going on my bike when the time comes. Only 2000 on this set, so it will be a little bit yet.

Got out for my first ride of the year today. 40's and windy with some major gravel on the roads. Could not stop smiling. Record snow in the Black Hills of South Dakota this year, had another 6" last week.:)
