Default Great weekend in MN!

This was one of the worst springs ever in MN.

I researched getting a new bike in January.
I ordered a SB HD1 bike that arrived in February.
Took delivery in March after 3 weeks of dealer prep (some part was back ordered).
Spent a couple of weeks with my mods. Until two days ago, it only had 4 miles that were put on in freezing weather.

I have been waiting for a good day to go for a ride. We had our first day of the year above 60 degrees this last weekend. It event hit 80 yesterday. Last week's snowfall is melted and the roads were full of bikers.

I liked the bike better than I thought I would.

Sunday you couldn't hardly see a stretch of road that didn't have a bike on it.

Even the wife and her Spyder went off for a ride, I on the other hand am still playing mechanic and trying to get mine up and running.
Was nice working on it with the doors to the garage open though.

Beautiful weekend, predicting 40's and rain for next weekend.

Al...who missed summer it appears.

Very cool, glad you guys are getting some warmer weather. That wait would have killed me! I bought mine in February and have 2K on it already!

Couldn't agree more. It was so nice to be back on the bike without freezing while riding.

You guys need to move down south. Other than a couple sub-32 mornings in the winter, it's riding season all year long.

Other than the bugs, humidity, and horrible drivers, it's not a totally bad place!
