Default Great riding day, had to work.

Spring has finally made it to the Motor City, 60+ degrees!!!!

Only problem is I'm pulling a 12 hour, 6am to 6pm work day today.[:@]

On the up side, I rode in to work today andhad some spare time so I removed the reflectors and did a little spot cleaning. The WG is sooooo ready for tomorrow which is going to be another great spring day up here. Me and a friend of mine who rides a custom Fat Boy have got some riding plans for Sunday, finally going to get some real mileage on my new Dyna.

Can't wait for 6pm so I can get out of here and take the long way home! WoooHoooo!!!!!!

Al.

Real bummer, but you got to ride to work and back.
Unfortunately, I was off work today, the weather was nice and I had to ride....... another day of dirty laundry

U & me Doug

started out chilly until the sun came out & got to almost 80 deg F.

from Houston....rode out to the edge of the Tx Hill Country to see the bluebonnets & wild flowers ...not to mention stopping for a plate of Tx BBQ at a very cool of-the-beaten-path type hole in the wall.

might just do it again tomorrow.

Had to work 12 hours today, HA!
I was thinking the same thing. At least I could ride when I got home.....hell, the wife is away for the weekend.

Then it happened. Somebody called out on night shift and I have to be back by 1AM.

Oh well, two hours to ride. Got to go!

Well, I didn't get any TX BBQ, but did see see lots of stuff budding out. The cherry blossoms are beautiful, and the Forsythia are in full blossom.This sure beats looking at patches of snow and ice.It's only gonna get better for the next 6-7 months.
Time to prepare to do those summer mods

Went for a nice ride today on the WG. I've been commuting to work again the last 2 days ( 30 degree mornings and nearly 50 on the way home. We are supposed to get up to a foot of snow tonight and tomorrow from Duluth north up the shore of Lake superior. Oh well, I get to keep experiencing spring over and over again.
