Lot of firsts for me tonight. I finally got my Tour Master jacket in from the shop today, and a good pair of gloves (pants are going to have to come later, couldn't afford them too). So I decided it was finally time to use the bike for one of the primary purposes I bought it: Commuting to work. It handled beautifully. Even with some semi-high crosswinds when I got out on the highway, I never felt like I would lose control, just got kinda blown around a bit.
I think my only real complaint is that the headlight didn't really seem to do a lot of good. Maybe I need to change the way it's aimed a little, not really sure. There are plenty of street lights around, but I just kind of expected it to be a little brighter on the road ahead.
Definitely no regrets at this point. It still terrifies me a little, but overall I'm extremely glad I finally got up the money to start riding.
