I did take my spanking new Limited Low on its maiden voyage last evening but just for a short 20 mile ride. Am I thrilled, absolutely, hoping to possibly ride to work in the morning but it is supposed to be below freezing (again!), so I may have to come home at lunch and pick it up.
Edit: This morning 4/1/15 - the local temp was 34*F so I rode the scoot to work this morning, heated grips work nicely, LED head and passing lights provide a nicely lit path in front of me beautiful ride in this morning, found out at 6:00 AM this morning that the exhaust will set off my neighbors car alarm, guess they will know everytime I go for a ride......
or change the sensitively of their alarm.

Yep ... The weather is finally starting to cooperate ... a few short jaunts for me too! Waiting for the "big rain" to wash it ( winter ) all away. Yes I ride to Hell on a regular basis. I'm ready :>)

Had the Road Glide and Low Rider out last week, took the Superglide out after work today to work out the cob webs and blow out whatever was in the mufflers. Tomorrow chilly in the morning but near 60 when I get off.

I hope to ride tomorrow or Thursday.
I saw a guy riding a Fatboy a couple weeks ago. It was 29 degrees and he was riding without a wind shield or helmet.
Man that had to be cold...

Just got back from a short 25 mi ride after work tonight. Got some rain here yesterday, roads and weather were good. Passed 3 other Harleys on the road and 3 or 4 at the pub.
Damn wrists are sore from clutchin, twistin, an brakin. Guess I should have been squeezing thoes hand workout springy things during winter. Oh well... finally got to ride...Its been a long wait..

NO, I did not!
However, I did see a few bikes at the Dam Site Bar in Hell as I passed through, and later one I believe was on the way to the Dam Site.
Sunny but very windy yesterday and I would have rode but I haven't taken my bike out of storage yet. I usually make "tax day" the target date to get the bike out, put the new license tabs on it and get it cleaned up (weather permitting of course).
I have no intentions of riding until after we have some rain to clean the salt off of the roads.
