Virgin Ride

Took the new baby out for a quick scoot this afternoon. The new windshield needs some adjusting. Sucks to be short! Other than that the virgin ride went great. Well, it was a bit cold. I started out with my new heated jacket and gloves on (first time to ride with those too) but I felt like the Michelin man so I removed the inner jacket which of course has the wire attachment for the gloves. Oh well, I managed to tough it out without heat and it was worth it.

I'll have to figure out that heated gear. Should have seen me trying to put myself together. I put my jacket on under my leather jacket, grabbed my adjustable thermostat thingy (yes, that's the technical term in my book), walked around to the bike to figure out all the wires. Geez, it took me a bit to figure out that the color coding was actually correct. Oh well, after I got that figured out I put my gloves on, only I couldn't plug them in because I forgot to keep the plugs on the jacket accessible when I put my leather jacket on. Kerrie tried helping me, which I'm sure was quite comical, but I soon became too frustrated with the whole thing and was itching to ride. So, I decided to nix the heat on the gloves and just ride!
