Smile Riding Weather

Its getting better everyday. The high here was about 68 and it was beautiful! Its so nice to be able to hop on and ride, instead of suiting up liek a friggin astronaut. How about everyone else? Anybody else getting to take advantage? I hope so. I hope everyone is safe and enjoy.

It was about 55 degrees this afternoon when I got home from work just outside Saratoga Springs, NY. Took advantage of the sun, but would love it to be a little warmer. No complaints....at least I'm out there.

Hit around 67* here today. Went for a spin with the little lady to get lunch. It is very nice just hoping on a going. This has been my first winter with a bike, and man it's been a long one!

This weather is gettn good around me. I'm not a daily rider, nor do I put the bike up for the winter till spring. I ride ever chance I get (year around). I enjoy riding with a loose H-D t- shirt. I've got a few days off work & the wx will be in my favor. Sunshine & temps in the sixtys... needless to say...I wont be inside on the computer !
