I didnt see another bike this morning either. There is a guy at my work with a CVO Ultra and he rides more than I drive my 2 trucks and my bike put together and he didnt ride. He rode 400 miles Saturday though.

It suposed to stop raining at noon here so I will enjoy the ride home.

Jumped on the saddle around 6:20am...still dark and fairly cool but it was a really nice ride to work. But I am in FL...so you never know when the thunderstorms are coming!

BTW! Happy Birthday!!
