Default Doesnt get any better than this....

Sun came out in Oklahoma today, woke up to 51 degrees with a forecasted high of 65 in store. Time for a ride.

Worked up enough nerve to finally try Pledge on my Vivid Black Ultra. Have to say I was pretty impressed , I dont think its ever shined so well.

My best girl lives about 45 miles from me so i called her up and told her to dig the leathers out, be there soon.

Picked her up and enjoyed a pleasant 45 minute ride through some decent twistys. Stopped at Quizno's for some toasty goodness ( Tuscan Turkey, Large ) .....then another hour ride before taking her home.

Not a bad day for February....Course they say snows coming in Tuesday again but at least we had today. Planning on sneaking a few more miles tomorrow before the weather turns to **** again.

Gotta enjoy the good times when you can

Sounds like a great time! My wife went for a short ride with me 2 up, then when nearly over she said, "why don't we go to the beach for lunch at Dixie Crossroads" - so we rode 130 miles today.

Hell I waved so much I had to ice down my left shoulder when I got home. Harley, Metric, Crotch Rocket, Vespa......You name it I was waving.

Just happy to be out there

Rub it in, rub it in guys, it rained here in the heart of Missouri today, temps not that bad, but, with all the super bowl parties I'm ok with it, it was kinda cool to bowl hop today.
