Default Beautiful Fall Ride

Well, I broke my wrist (non-riding incident) in July, so missed almost all of the Summer riding season. Did a short ride today, and the Fat Boy just throbbed down the road. Great to be back in the saddle.

Went to the dealer and looked at the 2018s and I really like several of the new Softails, but still liking my 2015 Fat Boy. It was a gorgeous warm but crisp Fall day here in Southern California and made me glad to be a Harley rider!

Great to be back with your knees in the breeze, right? Just in time for some of the best riding weather of the year. And don't be looking at those 18s!

Your bike on it's worst day looks better than the 2018 ricers.

There are usually 2 weeks in February or March when it rains and is accordingly not good riding weather.

Good old "Thor" seemed happy to have me back in the saddle!
