Five photo one paragraph ride report

[HayRog]

Beautiful day just right for riding. Let's head up NorCal Hwy 88 to Carson pass and see how much snow is up there. Plenty, plenty, plenty. Big props to the new owner of the Sierra House Restaurant in Pine Grove, who fed us a great lunch even though he wasn't officially open for business :2thumbs:

NICE! I'm envious, I am... 30+ MPH 30 degree winds and not a spot of snow on the ground here in MN, just lots of salty dirt....:sour:

Your photos

I noticed in your last photo you have a dark tinted windshield And what looks like a hole in the lower part of it. Like there should be a vent in it. I am right and if the hole is for a vent how come there isn't one there? Waiting to put one in my 2012rt.

No heated gear. We considered it -- for the last 20 years but never got round to buying any
This is the first bike we've owned with heated grips - Deb loves 'em :2thumbs:

The shield is a CalSci tinted shorty. The vent is there to assist with airflow and reduce buffeting. Works as advertised. I've heard some riders fear that the rain might come through the vent-- it doesn't.

Nice photos, I'm sure it was a great ryde

At least the road was dry. Looked like some ice where you pulled off. Great pictures.

Thank you all for the kind replies

Not wanting to HIJACK

RE Heated Gear. I am another who has chosen NOT to wear heated gear. I do not like having to plug in and out when getting on/off the :spyder2:. Always worried that I will forget and break something.

I do like the heated handgrips though. No heated seats yet.

UNHIJACK: ON

To HIJACK my own thread
No heated seats either. We have sheepskin pads on the seats - nearly as good as a seat heater I think.

Love those heated grips. With those and rain gear just about anytime is the time to ride. Last year on our trip to Big Sur we had one very wet day. I wrang my gloves out with water running from them like under a faucet and the heated grips dried them 3 different times. What a ball that trip was.
