Default 4TH---Who's Riding

Well it's the 4TH and I am riding today, going over my brothers house this morning he lives on
the other side of town. Later today I will stop by a friends place, and then we will hit a local
pub for a beer. Come home and BBQ with the wife, after we eat sit back with a fine cigar and
a glass of wine. Think about our 4TH of July Holiday started with a 3 cent Tea Tax about 240
years ago, what a great country we live in.

Wife and I got out kinda early this morning. Went for breakfast and a short ride. After 10:30 it just got brutal outside.

Of to a friends pool for a while , then back to my neighbors pool for some serious beer drinking.

Stay cool out there!

I'm gonna try to ride after the sun goes down. I will have my head on a swivel looking for the drunks. Hope everyone enjoys their personal freedoms today! They are getting scarce!

+1 and waaay too hot here. Will be 101 degrees and no wind, that and a 300 degree engine at stop lights gets a little toasty and uncomfortable.

Sheesh - all you guys complaining about the heat. It's going to be high of 72 here today. Figure I should get a ride in . . . Of course we have to put up with a lot of rainy days - so don't give me a hard time about it!!
