Took Mindy's new bike out for a run down 45 to the 660.  Nice ride, fun little bike (Yamaha FZ6R).  A little cold but I warmed up a lot when I saw a bunch of cruisers heading N on 45 and on one of them was a guy wearing only sunglasses.... I hope they were heated sunglasses.   

The grip heaters made a HUGE difference this morning.  I highly recommend them.

I'm proud to say that I'm now the owner of a brand new 1098S Tricolore.

Only cost me 1,250 tickets at Dave and Busters.

 

I rode the Hyper today as the weather was great. Not tomorrow though, I work. 1-10pm.
Well, maybe the Monster in the morning

Me again, but on the Monster today

and yet again; Hyper time

Chilly ride this morning!

How do you get a balaclava under your helmet? Do you have a larger helmet that you use in the winter?  I've been wearing a half mask, but would like full coverage.

You put the balaclava on before your helmet. 

I have two, one with a mesh top and one full for when it is colder, they are both thin over your head and do not affect your helmet, I even put the extra small pads in the arai and it is fine.

This is the full one I have http://www.schampa.com/product_p/blclv012.htm I would prefer it to be a tad longer but once adjusted properly no wind chill can be felt.

I use a different liner in winter that is not as snug.

...and mine is like Andy's with a thin mesh top piece.

 

Great day for a Palo Pinto ride... 


A welcome frosty pint awaited me at the house.
