Default First ride of the year

It was a beautiful day in Southern Wisconsin today, and I got out for my first ride of the year -- it was also my first ride on the new Road Glide. What an awesome day!

I lived in San Diego for about 6 years, and being able to ride year round was something I'll always miss. But, I've got to say, getting out there for the first ride after more than three months of not riding, well there's not many things like it! It brings back all of the excitement of then first time I ever rode. Really kind of cool. In one afternoon, all of the winter blahs are gone, and welcoming another riding season makes everything right with the world!

I am glad I live in PA never put mine away...I will ride if it is 22 degrees if there is no snow and the roads are pretty clear of ash and what not. Today it was 54 on the way to work and in the 60s on the way home...........I am living it!!!!! I can't imagine any one wanting to live in Wisconsin.

I got my first ride in yesterday. It was just short one. Today I got a much longer one in. It doesn't even start to feel like spring until I'm able to get out and ride!
