OldHippie-Agreed that I choose to live here. Have to wait a few more years before the big move south. Then its 12 months a year of riding! Until then, I have to spend my winters on this forum. Could be worse-I could be watching The Devils Ride!

We had a beautiful ride Saturday in north Florida, the first time I've been out in a while due to the cold weather and rain. It really felt good. Spring is a comin'
