COLD

[Bob]

Damn. Winter came early this year. Looking back on ride reports last fall, we had 4 in Nov. and 6 in Dec. Maybe it will warm up in Dec.

This sux.

Hoping to do something Tuesday on the new to me touring bike. I will post up when the 3 day forecast firms up.

Oops I meant to mention that. I found a very inexpensive 2005 FJR1300. I had a 2003 but it was murdered in 2012. That one had 140k miles so I was confident this one at 33k miles had some miles left in her. I wanted to get back to Moto camping and longer touring, maybe even commuting. It is going to need a new custom seat, lurking on FJR forum but almost everything is now Gen II. It's also going to see a shock and fork spring upgrade. It'll also be better for winter rides :)

Enjoy your Gen I. My legs never get cold ! I saw a few people are using Lamm Seats on the forum. I have a Sargent seat (was on it when I bought it) and it's OK solo. I think the gel pad is shot.
