I have posted a couple times about purchasing my bike in Nov in a snow storm and not being able to ride it, I pussed out a couple weeks ago when it was in the hight 50's but yesterday it was 55 no moisture on the road all sun, there was a little salt still but I said to hell with it I will just be careful so I pulled my new to me 2003 softail standard out of the garage started it up, put on my helmet and said I will just ride to the store that is three miles away, from the time I got moving until I parked it at 5:00 with 61 new miles on her I was all smiles, I woke up this morning smiling, my wifes horse was out of the fence this morning I had to put it in I was still smiling, I am now at work I am still smiling, the weather is turning bad again probably till april but I am still smiling, is it wrong to be this happy over such a thing, if it is I dont care because I AM STILL SMILING.

 

Never wrong to smile. Keep the first 61 miles in your mind until your next ride.

 

Great feeling, that first ride after being kept from it for whatever reason.
