Negative, I just had 2 days off in Denver and was very lucky to be in between two winter storms for 600 miles of riding. January 5th I'm done touring.
I'm working on a little write up about the short but sweet and slightly scary adventure now... climbing Pike's Peak in December sure is interesting riding.
Look in ride reports real soon.
cheers
joe

What seat do you have there???
And I believe that is the BMW windshield? Does it work for you? If so, what is your height and inseam
Not getting fresh...

Michael,
That's a BMW touring windshield frame with a Cee Bailey 18" screen. It works perfectly for me, but by "perfectly" I mean it keeps the wind off my chest and face without creating buffeting/turbulence under any conditions. I do not desire a screen that puts me in a bubble of still air, and this doesn't. The wind off the top of the screen hits me cleanly at eyebrow height at 60-70 mph, and there is a noticable but not objectionable increase in steady wind noise compared to the tiny "sport screen" that the bike came with. My head never gets pushed around by wind buffet, and the bike is not noticably sensitive to lateral gusts, even when following or passing trucks. I wear earplugs, but I ride with an open-face helmet in the summer.
The seat is a Rick Mayer, and I can't really recommend it. The workmanship is poor, and it was not built to fit me the way I requested. I gave up trying to get it fixed, because I never want to hear Rick Mayer's voice again. I've beat this to death on other threads, but my advice is if you can't go to Rick's shop and monitor the construction of the seat, find another supplier. I'll try Bill Mayer next time.
Not fresh at all: I'm 5'11", 195 pounds, with a 32" inseam.
Cheers, Tom

I would not mind having a Hypermotard or a KTM Super Duke.

A Super Duke is about the best sounding motorcycle I have ever heard. Better than a Duck.
