Default nice ride in to work

Just had to share this with my BROS and SIS' here on the forum.."people that understand" - -

What a nice ride in to work this morning - -- left the house at 0915L to avoid traffic....nice country roads for 25 miles - - crisp, sunny, 62 degrees going up to 77! Now I just have to wait till the ride home, heck...I may even leave early!

Gotta love Virginia in the Fall!!!!

Yea I hear ya and when you get to work the bike has a hard time turning into the parking lot. It wants to just keep going straight. Ive had that problem on every bike I've owned. The dealer said it was normal. For once he was right.........................BG

Nice! That would be a July\August morning here in the Pacific Northwest. This morning was 48, crisp and clear. One of those mornings that give you a little "chicken skin" if your leather coat with a liner in it is not zipped all the way up to your adams apple.[&:]

Time to dust off the leathers and put the beanie helmets away. The leaves are going to start turning soon and the wandering country rides will begin. Im leading a ride of 12 bikes over to the Jack Daniels Distillery in Lynchburg for an overnighter and dealer picnic in Lawrenceburg Sunday afternoon. Should be a good ride.
