Default Great Ride

I don't know how it was with you northern boys, but down here in Texas the weather was FANTASTIC this weekend. Rode 535 miles, from the house to Pasadena, tothe AHDRA drag races in Ennis, and back home. Damn, life is good.
Put it in 6th gear, set the cruise, and ran with the big dogs. Does it get any better?

Al, We got some of that good riding weather this weekend. Did the Hog Rally in New Braunfels. Everything was perfect... just a little windy from time to time.

We did a ride to La Grange, Cuero, Goliad, Victoria and Gonzales to check out the historic Republic of Texas Revolution battle sites.

The weather was great--a little windy on Saturday.

Rode several days in Deep East Texas and into Louisiana a few weeks before.

Wife and I rode from just north of Atlanta to Clemson, NC for a cup of coffee and back.
Put 200 miles on the 08 Ultra.
Set the cruise on 80 (10 above the limit) .
Bad thing is, there's little to no sensation of speed.
Gotta love it!!
