Default 44 degrees and sunny

after all the snow and ice around here we had thunder storms that cleared the streets. temp was 44 and sunny and i could not stand it any longer. finally got to try out the new mustang solo, very comfortable. 110 miles today and the weather is suppossed to be just a little better tomorrow. hopefully another 100 miles. 5500 miles on the 09 street glide now, it sure is a nice bike.

It takes a little while to warm up, but by noon it should be OK. They are forecasting about 50 for a high tomorrow after going down to 27 tonight. Today I rode about 70 miles and didn't get cold with it being about 48 degrees. Had my insulated shirt and leather jacket, thick gloves, and just my jeans and a hat. Of course my fairings helped a lot.

We had 10" of snow on the ground here it Boise at the end of Staurday, today it's 44 an 90% of the snow is gone, it's suppose to rain at least a couple of times this coming week so I may be able to ride again by the first of the week.
