How was your Christmas Day ride?
I took my 250 out for about an hour today and went up and down the hilly back roads of southwest PA. It was one of my favorite rides in the short month since I've purchased my bike.
So my question to you is: How was your Christmas Day spin? Where'd ya go? What'd ya think of it? Can't wait to go back out tomorrow in the sweet 37 degree winter weather

Amazing! I put a set of roaring toys spacers which allowed me to make the fork angle steeper. Turning is telepathic.

Gitoy, you were still in the breakin period for fresh tires..
My ride was nice for a bit. Took a spin on the highway (I rarely do that nowadays) and it was soooo empty. Nice and warm too. But once I merged on to the main highway, I was greeted with the usual rude drivers. Once I got off the highway and on to an empty main roadway, it was very relaxing again. When I got home though, I noticed one of my side covers flew off. Drove around for an hour looking for it, but I couldn't find it.

My christmas day ride was AWESOME, albeit, a little bit slower than usual. I was testing out a new set of uber sticky slicks on my MTB.
 I ride like a hooligan on my MTB when I'm not on the trails
