Sunday's Ride (10-24-10) - Ducati.ms

I finally had time to ride my new hyper 796 again. It was cool and overcast here in Los Angeles and I felt it was great weather. I just put on the plexiglass windscreen on the bike Sat. night and I couldn't wait to see how well it would work. I rode for about two hours and I was very happy with the how I got some wind deflection off of my chest because of the plexiglass. Having said that, though, I still FROZE because I left at 7am and it was about 58 out side. I did layer up under the one piece but it was still cold. Overall, my ride was quiet without a lot of other traffic out and the peacefulness of being alone on the road tranquil.

As I finally arrived home and got off the bike, I was so happy that I wasn't fatigued (in the arms, hands and wrists) from being hunched forward from my sport bike days. I was just smiling and kept saying to myself, "I can't wait to ride again." The next day will be this coming sunday at Fontana for the Ducati Track Day. I will up date then.

Glad you could get out, but count your blessings. We did a 200 mile ride in New Hampshire, and Massachusetts yesterday, started out at 39 degrees, was up 51 on the route back, with showers. Had a great time!

Yes i know we are spoiled here in Southern California. When it gets to be 60 out side we all freak out. I was just happy to ride.
