First ride of the season - Motorcycle-Journal Forums

Today I rode to work for the first time this year. It was around 41 degrees F when I left the house. It was my first long ride, 28 miles, with the C50 handlebars. I like the new handlebars.

With the old bars my left hand would start to fall asleep half way to work. Today nothing. I also was able to try out my new riding pants. I bought the Olympis Airglide II pants. I had the liners in this morning and I was plenty warm on the freeway. These look to be fine pants. It looks like the weather is going to get colder for the rest of the week. At least I got to ride today.
