Got up in the 40°s so I took a short ride on it.

I'm also, with the help of my grandson, building an 8x12 shed in the back yard to put it in.

Installed a set of American Classic Bomber Series mufflers, I got the mid street baffles I may have to get my rill out and open them up a bit.
Without the baffles they are loud, but too loud for my taste now.
Overall I am pleased with them.
