Glad you're doing better. Now after you get back from that little ride today, give us an update. No riding up here yet. Still too stinkin' cold, snowy, etc. Take the edge off by focusing on your next big adventure. Like I've said before, get into the planning of your big summer ride. Where, when, who's going to join you, what do you want to see, what are you going to pack, where are you going to stay, there's a million questions that beg to be figured out. It'll take your thoughts off your troubles and allow you pursue your dreams. Good Luck....

Two days of riding!!!
My soul is renewed, my husband and I have had the best two days we have had in a LONG time!!! Gosh I needed this!! I would have posted something last night but I was pooped from the sheer fun of it all...plus I had more fun today. Here's my report:
Today and yesterday were 2 beautiful days in the 70s and 80s here. My husband felt like he had practiced enough on his own on our Ultra Classic that he felt comfortable with me on back and we had a great time! Yesterday we rode through the countryside and wound up in Myrtle Beach. I was surprised because I thought he was just going in the country down some simple roads with little traffic, but no, he hit the big time and he did very well. We had an absolute wonderful time and it was like a dose of good medicine for both of us. We stopped at Krispy Kreme and sinned greatly and then it was on the way home. We also stopped at the Harley dealership in Myrtle beach. We had no trouble from the police with the new laws since we always wear helmets anyway and our exhaust is still stock and sound very quiet now anyway. We rode for about 5 hours.
Today, we rode down to Southport, a very nice ride which took us through miles of the Green Swamp, a refuge for wildlife and lots of trees and swamp area. Southport is a very old Port town and very historic. We ate at a nice restaurant there and we both had stuffed flounder that was delicious. The restaurant sits right in front of the ocean and we had seats right there with a great view watching the boats and seagulls. Then we rode to Wilmington to that Harley dealership and then out into the country. We rode about 6 hours.
The air was filled with the promise spring. The air was fresh, and smelled good, things were starting to bloom, and many fields had been plowed in preparation for planting time. I cannot tell you what healing this did to my soul.
And the Ultra, Oh WOW, we just LOVE it!!! It was so comfortable and my butt or legs did not hurt once during any part of the rides. And the music!!! Guess what the first song on the radio was" "You shook me all night long." And that really got us going. Then lo and behold "Born to be Wild" came on. And the music continued to be that good the whole time. I give the Ultra AAAAAAAA all the way and we should have bought one years ago.
Can't wait to be go on some really long trips!! My gosh we had a great time!!!!!!
Here's some pics of the day. The water is Southport in front of the place we ate at, what a beautiful town and beautiful day. I didn't take many pics because I was caught up in having a good time.
Hey...he finally found the tool kit!!
