Smile Riding New Year's Day

Who is planning on riding New Year's Day. I usually try to get atleast a short ride in. Forecast for For TN is 50's and a chance of rain. But now it is snowing here. Like we say if you don't like the weather in TN stay a few days and it will change.

There is a group of people I ride with that get together every New Years day for the past 6 years. We ride over to Titusville & have lunch at a place called Dixie CrossRoads. They have great rock shrimp. Most of us where riding Suzuki Volusias at first when we started this tradition. Great way to start out the new year with friends old & new who all love to ride & eat good food. Anyone want to joins us is welcome. We usually start out from a gas station at 415 & 46 leave around 10:30am. Get there & meet others in the parkinglot around 11:30 Already reserved for 20 but can add more when we get there.

I will be joining the "Ride for a Cure" with the Republic HD group on New Year's day. Got out for about an hour and a half today with temps in the low 40's.

Used to try to do it when I lived in Toronto-

--now I give it a miss.
Too many drunks with cell phones.

I rarely feel the need to hit the streets when others are likely to be tipsy at the wheel.

is really strange around here.We will ride though unless it's pouring
rain.
