Default First ride of the season! Long winter

It was just a short one after work. But, it didnt really matter how long it was, just that I got to ride! Of course this f-ing weather of ours. Almost 70 deg today but rain and then snow showers tomorrow night........

Got out for a gas run last night myself. First time not just going around the block this year, LOL. Felt good too. It's been a LONG cold winter in PA!

Rode to work today in anticipation of the 65 and sunny forecast. Just a little chilly at 6:30am at roughly 27 degrees, but the heated gear definitely helps. Problem now is, I'm looking at a forecast of mid 50's and rain for like the next 7 days. I really need to move somewhere besides the NE soon or I'm going to go insane.

Happy riding....

I know how you feel. I have a mandated riding season where I'm at that finally started yesterday. The past few weeks were beautiful, march 31st amazing. Come the first day, cold and rain. Kinda' sad my bike had to get all dirty from it. But, to finally ride after a long winter is one of the best feelings.

I had 2 straight weeks here where I couldn't ride because of the weather. It sucked.

Wow they regulate when you can and can't ride your motorcylce? The concept of Liberty is lost.

I finally had to take my bike too..My brand new 2015 Road King has been sitting in the garage for the two weeks since they delivered it and I had to get out... 30 degrees but out anyway... 170km (100 miles) but fantastic. Love the RK. Good thing I did...six inches of snow that evening...and more yesterday and today. Oh well...they say spring is on the way...

I've been running around town for the last few weeks on my StreetGlide, but today it was finally warm enough to take the Dyna for a spin.
