I just finished a 130 mile local ride to Williamsburg and back and the bike did fine though it was in the 60's for temp. I ride with jeans and not leathers and my ankles used to get cold so I made some gaiters out of naugahyde and velcro that are about 14" high to block the wind over the pants and ankles.
What do you do to keep your ankles warm on longer rides?
The mpg on the bike for the trip to Williamsburg and back was 58.3 mpg and I pushed the bike harder away from stop signs and at times up hills than I normally would at 58-70 mph speeds during the ride with 124 other big road bikes as part of a STAR ride put on by a chapter and the dealer.
They all rode with leathers for the most part...chaps...but I sorta feel silly with a scooter doing that and can't find ankle gaiters made out of leather on the internet so far to buy.
