Default Gettin' there

The temperatures are slowly yet steadily beginning to rise. I can feel it in the air, I see Harleys of all shape and size finally bathing in the sunlight in front of their dark, lonely garages. Folks young and old starting them up for the first time in months, even if it's just to admire. Everyone's getting anxious, ready to finally get back in the saddle. It's almost that time again: The riding season is about to begin.
​​​​​​
And for those of us who never let their riding season end, let's enjoy not having to worry about layering anymore or being blinded by our own breathing.

Can't wait to see y'all out on the road.
