Default My first ride on new bike!

Today was the first day I rode my New 04 (zero miles)1600 marauder.
It was cold but fun none the less.
Been like 20 years since I was on a bike.
I was a bit stressed till I got on the thing.
Took a few trips around the hood, staying close to home.
Couple low speed turns and stuff like that.
Played with the brakes.Trying to get a feel.
Handles so well...so nicely balanced!
Then I went out onto the secondary hiway where I live. Not a lot of traffic which was nice. Wind chill was way high at 70 mph.
Froze my fingers. But I had a big grin all the same.
Got some funny looks. Not many bikes in this weather!
Looking forward to some warmer weather.
