Default ...a beautiful day!

Today was about 68 degrees, and BLUE skies! I called a buddy last night, and we had an agreed upon meeting place. I got there a little early, and was just sitting in the parking lot, drinking a bottle of water, and watching a lot of traffic. Mucho scoots were out! At least 4 people asked if I was having trouble, and did I need any help....amazing. One guy even walked over while, I guess one of his workers, was fueling his truck, and asked if I needed to put my bike on his trailer, and he'd take me home or to the dealer. I said, No Sir, I'm just waiting on a bud, but I really appreciate the concern.

The ride...well, I don't know how to explain it, but it was gorgeous!!!!! Made 3 miles out of it around Lake Pontchartrain and back to the house. I just didn't want to call it a day....


Must have passed 300 bikes on that ride.....thank you Lord!

Know that feeling too.
Broke out into the lower 70's here on Tenn/Ky border today. First I took my 7 year old cruising this morning and bought him a book on snakes. This afternoon I took a ride up into Kentucky for about 3 hours and enjoyed the sunshine.

Low 70's in ATL went to Moma's for Sunday dinner had planned on cleaning the scoot while there; ended up doing her yard and getting my HD shirt dirty. I can always get another shirt.

Dinner was good and I enjoyed the 7 mile ride home.

Glad you guys are having nice weather. It was REALLY windy here today, but I went for a short ride anyway. It has rained a lot lately, so this was a good opportunity.

Wish I was there...
