The weather was nice today. Well, 41 degrees feels a lot nicer than 21 degrees anyway.
I got a Zero Gravity Sport Touring windscreen for Christmas, along with a Suzuki Gel Seat, and Joe Rocket Hard Drive boots. I had to go for a ride and check out all the new stuff.
ZG ST - So much better than the stock windscreen. I know everyone prefers the DB, but I like long rides, and higher speeds, so the ST helps more with the wind trying to rip me off of the bike. I did my typical quick run up to about 140+ and I was amazed that with very little tuck, I felt almost NO wind buffeting. There is more noise from the flow over my Arai Corsair, but nowhere near the amount I used to feel in my chest and helmet.
Joe Rocket Hard Drive Boots - Very nice fit and comfort. Not much for insulation, but a good pair of wool socks would take care of that. They look like space boots with all of the slider plates everywhere, but since they are racing boots, and they're all black, then I don't mind. I wanted them for the protection the provide. Looks are just a bonus! They are very flexible, but do feel a little weird walking around in them. They aren't made for all day walking comfort, but for riding they're fine.
Gel Seat - Not a long enough ride today to truely evaluate. I'll give an update in the spring.
It felt really good to get to ride again. Not the ideal weather for a long cruise, but good enough to enjoy a ride before winter really hits.
