Headsets, Mother nature is a B%&ch!!

Well, the company we bought the headsets from replaced the bad Bluetooth piece and the charger, no questions asked, all we had to do was send the bad ones in and they sent new ones.

We ordered a second set of headphones and receivers, but since the weather has been so crappy and cold, and there has been so much severe weather, we have decided to take the convertible to Florida instead of the bikes. It should save us at least 2 days of travel time, and at least we can put the top down once we get to the warmer climate. It's not going to be the same as the bikes, but there's always next year right?

I haven't even been able to ride to work between the cold and the rain. A week ago today we had a blizzard, and then today it was almost 60 and raining. Man I really hate Wisconsin sometimes. Hopefully by the time we get back from vacation we will have some better riding weather!

First cold trip with the new gear - success!

I have to say that the Rider Comfort System from Harley Davidson was well worth the investment. We rode at 50+ MPH this morning for about 13 miles (and that back again) and the only part of me that was cold was my face! I actually have something that I can wear that will keep that warm but I did not want to dig it out of my bag.

I wore all 3 parts of the gear that I bought, plus I wore a Columbia fleece vest between the middle and outer layers for some extra core warmth, plus I had my cold weather gloves on and my chaps.

It was weird being cold this morning (it was about 40) and hearing frogs in the ponds as I rode past. It made me think of summer but it sure didn't feel like it! After today, I am getting pretty excited about riding to FL in a month. I was a little nervous about the cold, but after today, I am feeling a lot better about the "what if it's only 40 out when we leave?" The layers should be great as we go from climate to climate, I can take off on the way down and add on the way back.

I did order a butt pad from Alaska Leather that should be here soon, I will have to give a review on that once I get it. We had a problem with one of the Bluetooth receivers and its charger, but since they have a 2 year warranty, they will replace it as soon as I send it back - which I will do tomorrow. We're hoping to have 2 working sets by the time we go on vacation in May.

Ready to go!

Took the bike out on Tuesday, only rode it to the gas station since it needed gas then took the long way home. Got to try out the Heat Demons I had installed over the winter - they are amazing! Took the bike to work yesterday, and again this afternoon (I had the dog with me this morning).

After work, we went to H-D Appleton and I bought 3 parts of the new Rider Comfort System from Harley Davidson. I bought the layering top, soft shell jacket and functional jacket. I have a Columbia fleece vest I can throw on if I want to, and they did not have my size in the vest anyway. I'm looking forward to getting to try it out. It's definitely more packable than a leather jacket and sweatshirt. I figure I can throw on a thermal top underneath and I should be good to go!

I'll be sure to post out which combinations I use and how they worked. It's supposed to be 76 on Sunday, but it's supposed to storm too so most likely no riding.

I'm really excited about blogging on my new accessories and new adventures this riding season. More to come SOON!
