Like its made of iron! LoL it hurt like an sob after about the half way point. I used the bicycle shorts, thick riding over pants w liner, sheepskin, and I was in a ton of pain!
I'm starting to get the feelings back in my fingers and my feet...

But it was a great time, weather was stunning (for mid-November) and a great end to the season!

The bike held up phenomenal and didn't skip a beat. Scariest part was the amount of dead deer on the side of the road. We had 2-3 times where a car a min or two ahead of us hit a deer and the drivers were getting out as we got to the spot of the hit.

No seat cushion? (I use a Butt Buffer).
No foam grip covers? (I cut mine off to install my Oxford heated grips).

Sounds like a great time!

I only had the bicycle shorts and I folded the sheep skin but it wasn't enough. I also installed the Oxford heated over grips which helped a bit with the vibration.

Your holding on with your hands to much if the vibration is causing discomfort. Hold the bike with your thighs.

Rode the CBR out of the country today, from Canada to the USA, to go get a package I ordered online. Little bit different going through customs on a bike lol

Rode to the pharmacy & the downtown library to drop off materials (drive-up drop box).
It's a beautiful day in central Indiana! I will probably ride to dinner tomorrow as well!

I rode mine to Napa and bought some oil; and then to the gas station, where I put in Sta-bil and topped off the tank with gasoline; and finally home, where I did an oil change and put Claudia, my CBR250R, away for the winter. It's going to be COLD on Friday, with a high in the lower 30s F . . . and getting colder as the winter comes on.

I'm looking forward to March, when I can ride again.
