    Christmas Day Rides

    With 70 degree temperatures predicted here in Citra Fl. I plan on getting in a good ride. Simply being able to ride on a decent day with some good friends makes for one great Christmas Present. Hope many of you can experience the same

    Happy Holidays and Warm Regards

    It was a beautiful day in Charlotte; sunny and bright.
    Departed with 36* and returned home, 100 miles later, at 41*.
    In a one piece suit and full face helmet I was comfortable, despite looking like an astronaut.
    Didn't go anywhere in particular, just tooled around. The absence of cars on the road lent to the serene quality of my Xmas ride.

    Christmas Ride in CT

    I did get to go for a 100 mile ride Christmas morning and test my new Ultimate seat. The smiles and waves and cell phone pictures from passing vehicles put a mile wide grin on my face.
    Up here it was 22 degrees so there weren't many other bikes out enjoying the "crisp" clear morning.
    As expected the seat was wonderful and I will probably be posting the stock seat in our classifieds as soon as sweetie goes for her ride. Here are a couple pics. The temp / speed pic is a bit blurry. I haven't had much practice operating the camera while driving. I can also see some Baker Hand Wings in my future. All in all it was a great day and so far in December I've been able to ride almost 300 miles. Not bad for Ct. I hope to get at least 100 miles every month through the winter. Hopefully the snow will cooperate. Expecting another 2-3 inches today.

    I rode with the Multitec for a couple of years and seriously considered going to the Neotec but went with the Shuberth C3 Pro instead. But that Neotec was a nice looking helmet.
