Right on! Just did a 220 km cruise to Harrison Hot Springs today. Awesome ride! Tons of bikes out today.
It's warming up nicely where you are. Glad you're out.

Yep.....got 400 k's on the Triumph over the last 2 days. That's a great start to the season here in Southern Ontario. And next week is shaping up nicely as well.

Great day for riding here in the bluegrass today, Rode to Lexington Ky, 218 miles round trip, stopped by the Triumph dealer and decided the new od green scramblers about the coolest thing there. Had a great ride. My girls first ride since she finished chemotherapy. My dad and his girlfriend rode up with us on his 1100 Silverado. He's putting it up for sale because his knees are shot probably one of the last rides we'll make together.

Very cool got my first good ride in yesterday too. Went to Van Camps Glenn in NJ for a short hike then stumbled on Millbrook Village where they were sugaring. People in period dress and old building to tour all for free. Was a good day.

Forgot, Wendy and I also got profiled on the way home. A young state cop pulled us over, walked up to me and asked if I was drinking then went to Wendy asked the same. We both said no then I corrected it since we had both had 1 beer with lunch. Wasn't any of the cops business but it was the truth. He asked us for ID and I had left mine home. He said several times he was going to tow my bike. Also said I was jumpy when I couldn't have been more relaxed since I knew we had done nothing wrong, not even speeding. After running Wendy's lic and making me take a sobriety test he said we were both free to go. He never even asked my name or looked at our bikes. Both of us had expired inspections. He never even got my name or address, even if he ran my tag he should have at least asked my name.

Well, after a beautiful Saturday, I only rode a bit, but hung out with Laurie and Soren at the shop. Went on a poker run on Sunday, and was drenched, but had a great time anyway. Did about 120 miles, and got a three of a kind. I won a hat.:p
Cheers,

I got my first ride in of the season on my new to be bike on Thursday after work. But about 75 miles on before the sun started to go down. Going to take sometime getting use to something bigger than what I was on before. Than it snow here on Saturday, so waiting for things to warm back up again. 
Do not look back and ask why, look forward and ask, why not?

Dusted off the Black One today and took about a 100 mile spin. 65 degrees, little wind and a lot of sunshine.
Man it felt good to get out again.
Rode up the Missouri side of the Mississippi River to a neat overlook above Louisiana, MO and had a look at the river up there. A couple of side road explorations and found a neat bar to have lunch in.
I hope this is the break in the weather we've been waiting for.
