              As far as riding in this weather, not die hard, just to new to know any better.

              Jaxkat, how do you (or your girl) like the corbin seat. I was looking at the same one for my wife, she is a little unsure with nothing behind her?

                  My wife says that you can't go wrong with it. Sometimes when we are riding... I forget that she is even back there... Have to reach my hand down to touch hert knee to just make sure... Lots better than feeling like monkey baby on its mommas back, she says. The Corbin is the best.

                    I have a pair of Joe Rocket Blaster pants, that zip into my Sonic jacket. They are really warm. Best advice is if you're riding in Pennsy in the winter, get some WARM pants that will zip into your Icon jacket. I also ordered some heated gear (a vest and gloves) that will come in handy, once they arrive...waiting...waiting...waiting...Oh, and get a balaclava they are a necessity that I found out the hard way!

                    Like you, this is my first year as a street rider, so I'm a little new to all this as well.

                    The best advice I have above all else is to take an MSF course ASAP. I rode dirt bikes when I was younger (about 25 years ago), but that did not prepare me for street riding.

                    Oh and welcome to KR!

                    I poured spot remover on my dog. Now he's gone.
