Anyone else had an awesome ride today?

Rain last night and early this morning. Temps are warm (52f) as result at 10 am. Hoping to get out riding at about 11. Wet leaves will be an issue for a while.

Did 100 miles yesterday down into the Conn. hollows. Sun was bright but the temps were just under 50F.

Did 225 miles two days ago out to western Mass. Thought that might be my last time out there before I get my carpal tunnel resolved, but it looks like today is going to be another trip west.
Coming home from this ride my batteries in my heated gear controller went south so the gear goes into a limp mode where the heat supplied is minimal (lowest setting). I carry spare batteries and a tiny screwdriver in case but I just kept moving instead of stopping and fixing the issue.

In over 200 miles I only saw two other bikes and one was a scooter. Am I suppose to wave to them?

View attachment 35478I had an awesome ride today, albeit short, only about 20 miles and it was chilly ~40 degrees (F). I installed new T33 tires and had to make sure they were round. ;)

At least the road was curvy. I rode an out and back from Minturn, Colorado to Hornsilver Campground, where the pic was taken. The route goes over Battle Mountain Summit in Eagle County Colorado.

Looks good. What brand bags are those?
 
It’s 10:30 and temps across Mass are around 55f. Tomorrow, Thanksgiving Day is suppose to be better but I can’t be anti-social as much as I would like to be.

Will head west today into the clearing skies.

Mario,

it was a fun ride.

They are Corbin Beetle Bags. Made by the Corbin seat company. I just looked on their site and they no longer offer/make them for the FZ1.

I purchased mine from a man on the FZ1OA site years ago. He didn't like the shiny black so he painted/sprayed them with textured bed liner.
