Default Beautiful Day!!!

Wife and I took the bikes out for a ride today. Only did 150 miles but sure cleared the head out. Weather was in the mid 70's mostly cloudy with some sun at times. Took jackets just in case but they stayed in the saddlebags. We saw quite a few other bikes out enjoying the day also. Sure is nice to live in the South!

Yeah, thanks for sharing. I have been trying to build a fireplace mantle in 13 degree, snowy conditions (wind chill of 7 degrees). My fingers went numb and I almost got frost bite. I will live vicariously through you.

Yeah...ditto on that thanks. I just cleared a foot of snow off of my driveway and looks like I'll have even more by morning. We won't see any riding until April! Bah humbug!

We all live vicariously through you right now. 26 degrees, 20 mph winds, 13 degree wind chill.
Pictures of sun would be appreciated.

I am Glad You got to Ride, I live in the South also and with all the Cloud Cover and Rain Chanes I did not even try to take it out, I did get to install some accessories though. I hope it Clears up soon!

I here you! 70's today in Texas and went for a great ride all was fine until I got home and saw my wife and son running towards me. I thought they were just happy to see me until I got close and they told me that my dog Jethrow had got loose. He is my bud and he is a black and tan coon hound once he gets a chance to run he is gone on a scent or something and he wont come back. It's happened a few times and I had to go bail him out at the pound. Just praying he comes home or gets busted again! Guess he is like his dad nice day for a cruise!
