Default Hit 80 today
Yep, got the ole street glide up to 80. Just kidding. Today is my 80th birthday. Always hoped to live to 80 and still be on two wheels. Went for a short ride today. It's was only 37 degrees when I left so was only out for about an hour and just around town. No pictures but saved a video from my security camera.

That’s awesome! I hope you get to hit 90mph at 90 and that it’s warmer when you do it!
