Demo truck coming to town soon looking forward to riding some of the new bikes. I did get to see that new snake venom color in person the other day and actually like it more than I expected.

Been a number of years since I hit a Demo Day event. Last hit one in 2017 I think. Will have to do one this year.

Finally getting a chance to get out for a ride tomorrow. Rides have been few and far between. Either raining or too cold for the last 3 weeks.

Went for a ride today, first time in a few weeks. Happened to pass by a fatal motorcycle accident that had just happened. Looked like an suv ran the stop sign and the bike t-boned them at full speed. Flipped the suv over.

Really makes you think about the risks we take every time we leave out. I cut my ride short and went ahead back home.

That's awful, just awful. I hope it was quick and painless. Where did this happen?

Did not feel sorry for her.
