I got out today for a quick run to the dealer (cuz I could!), it felt great. Sunny here in SE Michigan, was very pleasant.

Some wet spots on the road, bike was filthy afterword, so I had to wash her up, but well worth it.

February ride, its now looking like a 10 month season in Michigan!

74* here today. Hit some chat in a corner and the pucker factor definitely increased. Other than that, it was a great day to be in the wind. And windy it was!

Just had my newly purchased 04 Heritage transported to my home town of Battle Creek MI yesterday. Rode it around the parking lot a few minutes then turned it over the the storage geeks. I did see a few guys riding to and from the dealer, still pretty salty and wet here. I figured they may have been dealer sales people who can just take their bike in back and have them clean it up for em. I cant wait! It's gonna take some getting used to after 20+ years of 4 wheels, but it'll come back!

I rode for about an hour on New Years day, with my spare bike. I'm going to pick up my RKC from storage at a friend's place tonight, I know I'll be washing it for 45 minutes afterward, but it's supposed to be in the 50's and I can't go without riding it much longer.

Tomorrow is supposed to be pretty nice, too.
