yesterday I got a package delivered, in the box was a pair if tourmaster venture pants that I had ordered from motorcycle closeouts. com. they cost $ 109.95 and have a thermo liner. I still have my klim latitude pants but Gore-Tex gear always seem cool on 50F days which force you to buy a base layer to wear. I had a pair of tourmaster flex pants, those have a zip in thermo liner as well as a zip in rain liner, I found them to be too heavy and bulky so I gave them to my friend kamikaze years ago. I waited this morning until it got around 45F and didn't plan to go far. I was going to just putz around on the Mighty CT 70 but decided to take the Mighty ST 1300 so I could test the new pants at speeds above 35mph. after getting the Mighty ST 1300 out of the yard I thought about a few murals but didn't realize that they were fenced in. I found another one but a wrecked SUV was partly blocking it. I decided to stay off the express way and head downtown, I stopped for this church and theses murals on the way

leaving belle isle i headed west back downtown but had no real destination in mind other than heading back home. at 54 / 55f the venture pants were too warm with the thermo liner in but i didn't bother to stop and take them out. i was reading about some murals in southwest Detroit so i went and scouted a few out and found a few that i want to go back and get a pic of when there are fewer cages in the parking lot. i wouldn't say that i took a B-line home but i eventually made it there. after 41 miles and speeds up to 60mph i can say that so far i like the new pants, sorry no pic of them but i don't think a selfie of the pants would do them justice
