Default Finally!

Finally, got out on the bike this morning! Been damn near 3 months! Did a once over before heading to work, hopped on, turned on the heat and rode in to work. I'm looking forward to the ride back home this afternoon. Supposed to be in the lower 50's!

3 months! Wow! In another few weeks, it'll be warm enough for us all. It's 55* here but rainy.

I would be happy with 55, but not the rain. I estimate about 3 weeks before I get the bike out of storage and get the spring maintenance done.

That's awesome! It is supposed to be 50 today in Michigan. Mine is still at the dealerships getting some mods done. I can't wait for my first ride on my new heritage

It was in the low 60's here in northwestern PA yesterday. Lots of bikes out and lots of smiles. It was nice to get back on the bike.

I cleared most of the ice off my driveway this weekend, and it rained helping the snow melt. Thought spring is just around the corner. This morning a surprise:
Back yard
Front yard

UGH!
