With the temps reaching 50s and 60s we are all getting antsy for the first ride of the season.
Just watch out for the sand and salt dust left on the road from the recent snow.

Good idea to look/check the bike over before you go out especially tire pressure.

Wow that is great advice, I seen a guy lose it last year at an intersection on a salt/loose gravel mix. You have to be a little bet more on your toes too, the four wheelers have a short memory am may not remember they have to share the road with us.
