150 miles today, down to Carmel-by-the-Sea, back through Capitola, up Old San Jose Rd and return home.
Great weather until we hit Marina and the fog help drop the temperature almost 15 degrees compared to San Jose! The boss put on the Widder vest and stayed nice and toasty. The Cee Bailey windshield really helped with the buffeting. There was some buffeting, certainly, but nothing compared to the stock shield, the music was clear and frankly I prefer some airflow. I may add a 15" shield, maybe the Gustafsen. Carmel was clear and the temperature was in the 70s, amazing how just ten miles can completely change weather patterns. Great twisties up Old San Jose Rd. What a pleasure the Cross Country is to ride.
So, the seats need to be upholstered and I want to go with the Sargent upgrade. We're planning on riding down to Venice Beach for Thanksgiving and while it would be nice to have the seats sent/returned before we go, I'd hate to not be able to ride for three weeks. Also, if I sit straight (proper posture), the handlebars fit fine; unfortunately, I tend to slouch and the SRVT 2" pull would be nice to have. Hate to disappoint the boss but I think I'll go with the bars before the seats...
