I'm Still Alive

I do apologize for the time delay.

Things have been crazy lately, I'm hoping to start working full time (which in this economy is a true blessing), but I've also been dealing with final exams. I have one more to go!

Flying around between work and school has given me opportunities to really get used to my new Versys. It is a whole new animal, but it doesn't take much to master. I found out just how far I can lean into corners a few days ago when my foot peg scraped along the road....scared the crap out of me. I thought for sure something broke.

I like the fact that I can go around 200 miles on a full tank, double than my DRZ400. And it only costs $12 to fill up. I had to add some fuel treatment to my tank last night because of condensation. The Versys is fuel injected so there's no carburetor to clean. It is really annoying because I always get condensation in the tank. Same problem with the DRZ.  It's because Florida's weather is retarded and the temperature changes by 30 degrees every day during the Fall/Winter. I keep my bike in the garage, but when I'm out and about at night, it's exposed to the outside air and that's when it happens. I hate you, Florida.

I hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving. It was 31 degrees Thanksgiving morning when I rode out to see my parents. Enjoyed every minute of it.

I don't have anymore classes until January, but I plan on working every day to maximize my hours.
