Default Great days start with a ride.

I rode my06 Street Glide to work today. It makes the day better no matter what goes on if it starts with a ride. Myride to workis about 20 milesand that is enough time to really enjoy the bike and the day. It is spring break so traffic in Atlanta is good, I made it to work without any back ups. It is going to be 75 degrees today. Now I am really looking forward to the ride home!

Not really, by the time I got to work, I was sorely PO'd. Got cutoff twice in my lane by two cagers.

Default RE: Great days start with a ride.

I ended up using 4WD to get out of my driveway this morning.[:@] Rode my bike home from the shop yesterday afternoon in a foggy haze....wanted to get a test ride to check out the new dyno tune, but was too darn cold. Snow started before dark, and had several inches of heavy wet crap this morning....looks like it will keep it up at least part of the day. On the bright side its suppose to be in the 60s by Sunday, and finally break into the 70s early next week.....maybe winter will finally be over in Wyoming.

I agree on the day is better when you start on the scoot. I'm 25 miles from work and ride every morning that there is not snow, black ice or a forcast for heavy sustained rain. Sometimes I say what the hell and ride even with the latter.
