First ride

After spending Friday evening and a good bit of Saturday installing stuff on the Tenere, I was finally able to go on a real ride yesterday. Incidentally, I'm not very mechanically inclined so it takes me about three times longer to do things than those who are.

I got the windscreen (easy), side cases and crash bars (not so easy) installed. The bars with Matt's generous help.

Sunday was sunny and almost warmish. I rode out Highway 14 on the Washington side of the Columbia River Gorge, one of my favorite rides. The bike performed wonderfully and was a hoot to ride. My route took me out past Lyle, WA, into the high desert. Nice.
