Default Finally... Spring!

I don't know about the rest of you, but last week I was finally was able to get the bike out for the season. Put a couple hundred miles on, tried to burn up the tank of gas with the stable in it. I tell you, all winter I thought... hmm, maybe it’s time to upgrade to a '17... (Almost pulled the trigger a couple times) Then, you get back on your bike (that you built the way you wanted it)… and all of a sudden... zero thoughts about upgrading... Funny how a winter of not riding causes you to forget just how much you love your ride.

Funny thing about living in the snow zone, my 2013 is put away for the winter months, so I figure my Road Glide is only 21 months old to me and like previously mentioned it's set up just right. This coming Thurs. the weather guessers are calling for accumulating snow, so now we go through the salt on the roads and rains to wash it off.

So true. Keep thinking of upgrading from my '06 but when I get on it, it's like wearing a comfortable pair of jeans. I've had mine out and only put 100 or so miles on it, but looking forward to getting some miles this season. Rubber side down!

Snowed about 4-5 inches here in Utah last night. Roads are clear, though!
