Happy Trails!!!

Yeah, My Linda and I rode to Buffalo last Saturday in a cool and gloomy weather for my birthday lunch. On our way home, It started to get a bit cold for her, but I was all smiles. Didn't see a motorcycle anywhere and laughed my *** off if others looked at me thinking I was nuts. Watched the weather forecast for the next few days...Looks like I'm done for the year. Truly had a blast putting over 12K miles on my '09 Ultra.

Happy Holidays,

Thorey

I ride all year in Ohio so long as there is no precip on the roads. The other day a friend asked if there was a patch for people that rode all winter. I told him yes, it reads (Dumba**!) LOL

Still riding up here in the frozen tundra also. I would ride in any temps (hell I go snowmobiling so what's the big deal?) but I put the bike away to avoid the salt residue from the first snow thru the first heavy rain next spring.

RG32, my wife and I rode from Bucyrus to Huron with another couple yesterday and went thru Attica twice. It was a beautiful day for a ride, and even though cool, it was fun. I couldn't get enough riding, so decided to ride to work today. My harley EGC is parked on the east side of the bank in Attica. We may need to hook up and ride some time. I may ride tomorrow morning also, and then it looks like the weather is going to sour. I need to get my bike to Hales for the 10k checkup before putting it away for the winter.
