Glorious Weather
The weather yesterday was absolutely perfect and I made the most of it. A college buddy of mine rode down from Philly so we could go out for a ride. We had a trip all planned out two years ago but we had to cancel due to Katrina. He then had a kid last year so his wife wasn't letting him out of her sight. He rides a Vulcan 750 so I took the Aero out for the day.
Interestingly enough, Google's estimated time is about what it took us with a few stops to gas up and lunch. I'd estimated about 200 miles but turns out it was 200 on the nose. It felt weird doing 211 on a cruiser and strangely I only saw 4 sportbikes on it. The weather was actually somewhat chilly up on the mountain but it felt great given our current pattern.
My hips are a bit sore from the wind buffeting but other than that I'm no worse for the wear. I have a Corbin and it performed most excellently during the entire duration of the trip. I've done 200 mile days on the SVS and the cruiser is defintiely more comfortable.
