We've had some nice riding weather here, finally. Sure is great to be able to get out and ride, now if I could only find a way to get out of going to work so I could ride more.

Been lucky here to have had decent riding weather for the past 4 or 5 weeks. I got my baby out the last week of March and have already put a couple thousand kilometers on her... and I haven't even GONE anywhere!

This winter was pure torture for me! [:'(]

Cheers!

You southern guys don't realise what it is like to only ride half the year. [:@]
Just think about getting sex only six months at a time???
I don't know how you guys up in frozen country can stand it! Of course, once we start getting thunderstorms every afternoon, adjustments have to be made.

Yeah, I remember. I lived in Minnesota for most of my life and that first ride of the season was so sweet. I came home after and cranked Aerosmith's 'Back in the Saddle' after every first ride for years. Then moved to CA,AZ,NV and live in TX now!!! Much better.

I've rode the bike to work and every day and weekend for the last 6 weeks, except for 1 day when we had tornados in the area.

Just rubbing it in.

Ah yes, Spring.
Nothing like riding on cinders and dodging potholes.
Today, 60% chance of rain...I got over a hundred miles in.
Tomorrow, 40 % chance of thunderstorms...100% chance that I'll be out again.
Cheers.
