Anyone else ride in Chicago!?
 
Today we hit mid fifties. I took the bike out. Anyone else from the area do the same?

Yup, I was out this afternoon. Saw a few others too. I try to find at least one or two days each month to break the bike out through the winter. Sometimes it is a challenge to find a day where it is both warm enough (upper 30s is about my bottom limit even in Dec-Jan-Feb) and when there isn't too much salt or moisture on the road.

Today was great. :cool:

Milwaukee here. I got out for about 50 miles. Nothing big, but it was nice to ride. The roads were pretty beat up. Had to stand on the boards for some nasty sections.

Nice ride today in the Starved Rock area Ottawa Illinois. Great day to get out and put about 100 miles on. Washed the salt dust off, up and back on the lift waiting for another opportunity to get out. As already mentioned. Any clear day that the roads are ice free is a good day to ride.

Saw a couple bikes out. I wasn't one of them. Rockford area.

Got out for a couple of rides this weekend. Cruised about 120 miles Saturday, mostly around the Fox river, and then my short bop through the woods around Archer, 83, and US45 on Sunday.

First time out since tensioners and Andrews 21n cams. Ran like a scalded dog.

Good to be out in February. I too take any opportunity the winter gives.

I rode my BMW. Too much salt dust for the Harley. Felt good to be in the wind, regardless of the name on the tank.

I was hoping to, but looks like it's new battery time.

Ah, well another time soon enough!
