Default riding in north carolina today

got to get out for a ride today. rode down to Tilley Harley Davidson in Statesville NC. started out it was about 36 degrees but got up to the upper 50s later on. did anybody else get to enjoy ridding today? I wound up getting in 150 miles. Tilleys Harley Davidson of Statesville is a pretty nice place. they are one of the few that have a dyno machine. also heard that the owner of tilleys got killed in a motorcycle accident in 2014. Prayers for the family!

55 is too cold, it was 73 here today, I rode my 12 Heritage back from having recall work done at the Dealership. Forecast is mid 70s and blue skies till Monday.

I'm seriously thinking of riding up to Wilmington tomorrow and grabbing a cheap hotel room on Kure Beach. No time like the present.

If I rode in the temps we've had here in Ohio, my nuts wouldn't drop until the middle of May

It'll be in the mid 60s for a high in central Texas this weekend. Major rides planned for both days!
