Finally took her out today

[rc51ny]

Finally--sun is out, snow is off the roads, roads are dry. I couldn't help myself. I just had to take my new '06 out for a spin. Put over 100 miles on her. I just rode until I couldn't feel my fingers anymore. All I can say is SWEET!!!!!!!!! Now I can't wait until I can ride without 4 layers of cloths on.

Go to Cabellas or REI and get one of those new style polar fleece pullovers. They stop up to 95% of the wind, but breathe! I wear my Cabellas under my leather jacket with just a long sleeve t-short under that. I have riden several times in mid 30 degree weather...my upper body never got cold.

Which on is it, the Polartec 300?

I didnt' find the actual one I have in there... I am quite sure any of the polartec stuff would work great.

I got my wife a jacket from REI for Christmas. It is light weight, I think they call it polartec too.. no...they call it polar fleece..(I think) Anyway, the guy there told me it stops 95-98% of the wind. My wife is a wimp when it comes to cold...it has become her favorite jacket.

Glad to hear there are other people like me who refuse to completely acknowledge that it is indeed still winter in New England.

It's all good!

OMG--Somewhere near the end of my ride I was being to question my own sanity!! Forget the strange looks I was getting from all the cagers I passed. In any case, the first ride was AWESOME!!!!!!!!

Man you got balls, cold ones at that. Glad you got to ride your busa. Be careful of salt, sand, leaves and all the other winter stuff when riding early in the year.

Man that takes heart. A new busa will do that to you!
