So I was planning on riding into work this entire week and then putting the bike away for the season this weekend, but after this mornings commute, I am calling it quits today.
Was 37 degrees this morning and by the time I got in my hands were llike blocks of ice. They are still in pain as they continue to thaw out. I was legit worried I was at risk for frost bite of the fingers.
My upper body was fine, as were my legs, but my hands just cant take this. Not to mention, the roads were a little wet from melting snow and definitely slicker than usual, there was salt residue on the roads which is no good for the bike and doesnt cater to safe riding, and my mask was getting spray and had some fog issues.
So thats it! Bike will be getting cleaned up real nice on Sunday and put in my parents garage till next year. Very sad to see it go, not excited about having to take the train, but the time has come. I put over 7K on her this year (between the FZ and my old 650R) so I feel like its been a fruitful season of riding.
