Cold ride today, first ride with Grasshopper

Was supposed to hit low 40's today but think closer to high 30's, but I took about 100 mile ride anyway... since was off work and was nice and sunny.

The Grasshopper backrest seemed to be fine, but initial feeling when first got on bike was that it pushed me more forward, which I didn't like at first anyway. I will admit that I have a very poor posture and tend to slouch. I found I mostly enjoyed the backrest while using the highway bars.

Came across this rundown building and thought neat place for a photo. Unfortunately had to face into into sun, so not real clear... but I think my bike looks "angelic" LOL
