Default I love my new bars
So I finally got a chance to take the bike out for a little ride since installing my new bars 2 weeks ago. It was 52* and NOT RAINING today so I left work a little early and went for a little ride. Man these bars are comfortable. Can't wait to take off for an all day ride. Tomorrow is supposed to be 54* might sneak out for the day before the snow on Sunday...

Thanks Keith I will do my best and you do the same. I'm taking advantage of the downtime from riding and building a Bruce Springsteen "Born To Run" Tribute Telecaster.
