You are not my mommy so I don't listen to you.

Wait! I just realized that your post count is huge and you make a negative remark about post counts which by the way are completely meaningless.

At 71 I am very comfortable at being me. I have nothing to prove to anyone nor do I need to impress anyone. I just live the life that I dreamed of and planned and prepared for. If that bothers you. So what!
good on ya. I am a daily rider every day too. Today was a crisp one, -8 when I left the house. I need some warmer gloves, and I might have to swap the beanie for a FF. I just love riding, knowing all the wallet ***** bikers are off the roads. haha.

I hate to say it but it is raining and low 40's. So on went the rain gear and I put in a quick 54 miles. The engine stumbled once but fired back up. Pulled into the garage and cleaned all the ground wires and pushed in on the fuses then checked all connections that I could locate. I will check if any codes were thrown later tonight. My memory is poor so I have to read the service manual each time.

Schu - It's about time you went for a ride. That bike looks to shiny. Needs some road grim on it to look like a Harley.

This is one of my favorite times of year to ride! Here in Washington, we have had cool temps (it's been around 38 degrees when I ride to work and about 45 when I head home from work), but the skies have been clear and sunny. The air is crisp, dry and refreshing and since I don't mind bundling up, I keep warm enough. I'll usually ride regardless of temperature drops, so long as I know there's no risk of ice.

Upper 40's and sun shine which makes it a nice day. Limited to 75 miles as I had to stop at the dealers for the 1K service so I lost three hours riding time.

Hope every one else had a great sunny day.

yea it was a nice clear blue sunny day, I have a great view of it out of my office window. I don't get to ride till I leave then the sun is going down. But that's fine, had a good scoot home. I dropped into the harley dealer on the way home, I'm doing a little mod on the bike. Will post pics when it's done. It's gonna be awesome.

I thought I was done riding this season but it's supposed to be 12 celsius Sunday so I am going for a rip with the wife and some buds. We'll be leaving our wallets at home.
It'll be a good one, no Adam Henrys either.

Sunshine a 50. A perfect day for a 92 mile ride through seven small towns in somewhat of a circular route. Engine stumbled and missed for a moment. Will have to check that out.
