After a year, still adjusting Kermit's fit

What happened to the 70 and 80 degree weather? Guess no riding for a while again. I did just make one adjustment that I hope will make a huge difference - I moved the handlebars higher. And by quite a bit. I have always had a little trouble with tight turns and the bar coming close to my leg. But I never really thought about it other than trying to do better. But after putting on a "flip-a-lever" I was not actually able to reach it!

After some soul searching and kibitzing with others, I came to the conclusion that the dealer mounted the bars too low for my use. So I released the handles, rotated them up, readjusted all the stuff mounted on the bars, and tighted everything back down.

But it is now too cold to test it out....
