Default Went for a ride today

So its almost the middle of November and we had sunny and 65 degrees today. It was amazing. Took the day off and went riding all day. Just got back home now. I know you guys in Cali are use to riding all year long but for us here in MN we could be getting snow any day now. Just thought I would share.

I attached a cell phone pic from earlier today. This is the last time my bike will look like that. I have a few more mods to put on over the winter. Apes, DNA fat spoke wheels, new a/c cover, license plate relocate kit. Cant wait to start.

Lucky dude. I'm still at work, and by the time I get home (thanks to daylight savings), it'll be dark and 10 degrees colder than now. Oh well, maybe I'll jet around for dinner on my Springer...

Cold weather sucks...

I got out for awhile today too. It was awesome. Sounds like the weather is turning for the worse here in northern Minnesota...could have been the last ride. Sure hope not!
