Default 10 PM and 87º.... time for a nice ride!

Been running 5 or 10 degrees above normal since mid December, hope pattern doesn't hold for the summer !

It was too darn hot to ride today.

Just pushed the bike out of the garage, gonna catch the nightly news headlines and head out to some quiet roads.

When it gets warm you gotta go late or early.

Mike

Pretty close to the same here in south texas. I'm lucky that I live next to the gulf. We usually have a pretty nice breeze coming off of it to keep us cool. Enjoy your late night cruises brother.

Hey Mike I had to ride to the VA yesterday and it was pretty warm, I agree I hope this isn't the pattern for the summer. 98 in the middle of April sucks.
Going on a ride with HOG chapter today to Winslow up through Payson and that way so it should be nice until we get back in the Valley. Yesterday 98 today 88 go figure

Sunny and 80* forecasted for today. Couldn't ask for better weather so I plan on riding all day. Might go visit my daughter and SIL in Jacksonville

Got home about 2 am.

temps had dropped all the way to the 70's- I did hit some elevation, so had to stop for my jacket.

a nice cruise and allowed me to stop a couple of times and adjust my new to me D/H headlight

Some javalina by the carefree hwy, more on Bush hwy, and coyotes on my street when I got home.
No burros.

now I have to climb on the roof to service the evap cooler.
Cruise on Central tonight, might take one of the old bike down.

Mike

I enjoy riding at night on the back roads. Here in MI we have a lot of deer as well, I just ride like I am in the city high alert.
