Stopped on the way home to get out the tape for the face shield - half the ride is directly into the rising sun!

Enjoying these 'big wheels". I set a "comfortable" speed out here in the dark, in the country. And once again, when I look down at the speedo - I find myself cruising 5mph faster than I ride on the LIKE's 12-inchers.

Another sharp, super-clean machine you've got there. But I don't know how you enjoy riding in the cold. I can't stand doing much outside below 50 degrees.

OK, it takes a crew of 4our to get me geared up. Boots, long sox, slider kevlar jeans, frogtogg over-pants, special Japanese heat-tech shirt (amazing thing) maybe made in Korea, old thermal shirt from work days, ICON leather jacket holding 5 pcs of D30 armor pads, , hi-viz Oxford wind/rain-proof over-jacket, 2 pairs of battery gloves (one for spare), balaclava, covid mask, full-face modular helmet, 6' long scarf, ear plugs - and a thermal cup for when I get there!

And, remember to use the restroom before!

You would not believe how much that jacket weighs! It's like putting on a second grader.

Takes me all of half an hour to get ready. When I go out into that cold garage I don't feel too bad - of course I'm not moving at 33mph behind no screen yet either.

I highly recommend it!

40f here today but wow, it felt colder.  Had to crank the heated grips up to 60% for the first time.  Must be the wind chill off that N/Easterly we got coming in from Siberia.

Still and all, I enjoyed being out on dry roads testing the phenomenal grip of those Michelins - and on cold tarmac!  Why on earth did I wait so long?
