First ride of the year

I rode the bike to work today. I figure that it is better to find the chinks in the armor on a 45 minute ride that a 10 hour leg down to Daytona.

This is the temp reading on the GoldWing. Overall, a very comfortable ride in. I DID keep an eye out for ice. The melt water from the snow piles has a tendency to re-freeze overnight. But this only showed itself on the ramps and parking lots.

I need to get better gloves. My fingers stayed warm, but my wrists were cold, even with the big cuffs that fit over most of my forearms.
