Wish I could have joined in that therapy but I seem to be facing a jacked up elbow and possible sergury. Can't roll the throttle or grab the front brake so probably not a good combo for a good ride.

Glad you got out.

I must be the only poor fool that had to work yesterday. There were several moments when I walked by windows and was reminded that the weather outside was beautiful. But, all I could do was think about the bike back home in the garage.

So, glad to hear that somebody got a ride in. And, you're right about the weather today and tomorrow, it's crap. Then, back to work on Monday. How's that a "Holiday" weekend?

Mike

Wife and I rode from Southern Illinois to St. Louis yesterday also. Wind was a pain on the whole trip, but, the 200 mile ride there and back was truly fun until 3 deer ran out in front of us 10 miles from home, the some s.o.b threw something out his window a mile from the house and hit me in the helmut. Disapeared tho before i could get turned around to run him down.

You weren't the only one that had to work but the man paid me to ride one. If you have to work it is the only way to fly.
