Had a nice cool ride in the rain (about 140 miles R/T ) over to Arlington, WA today to check out "Recycled Biker Stuff." They are a non profit thrift store specializing in used riding gear along with some parts and accessories. Proceeds go towards ending child abuse and domestic violence.
http://www.recycledbikerstuff.com/Picked up a nice heavy leather riding jacket for my 10 year old daughter (who's name actually happens to be Connie) for a great price and she flipped when she saw it.
Only had this bike for a few months and am very impressed with the weather protection. Had a great time in weather that would have made the trip a real bummer on most other bikes I have owned.
The next time I have to pull all that plastic for a valve adjustment I won't be grumbling nearly as much.
