MAN, it just doesn't get much better than this. it was 60 degrees this morning, clear blue skies with a slight breeze. gassed up the FatBoy - and headed out. went no where really.... up by the Shade Tree Saloon, out to the dam at Canyon Lake, round by New Braunfels, then home.

it sure is great living in San Antonio!!!!

I am sorry, but when I read the title to your thread all I could think is that my wife would tell you that I turn gas into noise just about every night.

I'm planning to get out tomorrow morning early. Should be around 60 degrees. I can break out the jacket for the first time. Not going far, just gonna burn some gas and get ready for the road trip next weekend.

Hmm. 34 degrees here this morning, windshields on the vehicles were iced over. Froze my butt off riding to work. Was nice on the way home though.

34 degrees, ouch!!! Right now that sounds better that 100 degrees that we've been having here this summer. My riding season is just now beginning. I ride a lot more in the fall and spring, and winter than I do in the summer. I'd much rather bundle up than sweat to death. Plus, winters here aren't too severe.

It's finally cooling down here in the Carolinas from the summer heat and great riding weather. I was out this evening and the bikes were coming out of the woodwork. Around 68 degrees this evening and Carolina blue sky & sunset! +1 Brotha life doesn't get much better that this !
