Had some really nice weather today. High of 55 I think. Went for a ride and DAMN it was nice! This time of year I go crazy. Anyone else have the same good fortune? I hope so.

Same for me!....Even tho it was just a ride to work n back, it was heaven!....I ain't rode in 45 days up until today! All three scoots were undergoing mods and the weather either was below freezing or raining, so I sucked it up and suffered thru it.

I froze my *** off this morning on the way to work, but when the temps hit 60 at 2pm I called the boss and made up a reason to leave early. Then I took the long way home where I hit my favorite sweeps and drug the floorboards till they were throwing sparks. No sooner than I got home it started to rain again, so I plugged in the battery tender and went back to work on one of my other scoots with renewed interest and thusiasm.

I'm demanding the global warming they promised us!

You guys make me feel sad. I don't get to ride till March. There's still snow and ice in NH.

But... that's why you buy a snowmachine.

Today was even better! Low 60's. Sunny! I went for a pretty long ride with my local HOG group. It was great! I cant really explain how much I love riding motorcycles. I know you guys share that same feeling. I took me twenty three years to start riding. And I know Ill ride for the rest of my life.

I rode both days this weekend, over 300 miles total. I usually ride everyday to work also, I am glad that I am stationed in a place where I can ride most days. Though it looks like I will not get to ride much this coming week, we are suppose to have 3 or 4 fronts come through this week, and drop more rain on us then all the rain we had last year. Guess I dont have much to complain about, I have rode just about every day in 2010. I feel bad for you guys who cant ride.
