Yesterday was ok. Mid 60's for a high, but cloudy. Today and tomorrow are gonna be GREAT! Highs in the Low and Mid 70's and Sunny! I ride most everyday, but it sure is nice to ditch the full face helmet, weenie shield, winter gloves, and heated gear! Just a little bit warmer, and I can wear my riding apparel of choice....shorts and sleeveless t-shirt!!!!! Gotta get up to 80 for the shorts.

Saturday, we had our 2nd anual Polar Bear ride at a local dealership. It was 20 deg outside at 8 am and warmed up to about 38 deg by noon. There were about 150 bikes there. Today it is supposed to be 68 deg. Gonna be out today for sure.

Default warming up!

It sure is nice to get on the bike again. Within the last two weekends i have put about four hundred miles on. Took her to work yesterday its was a cold morning but that will wake u up better than any cup of joe. I just love the fact that the snow is gone, we just need a nice heavy rain to wash away some of the salt and sand still left on the road.

Definitely been rideable here in Connecticut for the past week - mid 50's isn't warm but it's comfortable - it's a great feeling to be back in the saddle. Roads aren't too bad, either given the ugly winter beating...
