First Ride of 2010 1 Year, 10 Months ago  
I finally got out today! It was about 45 here in Wisconsin but sunny. We've had some rains recently so I don't think the roads were salty. WHAT A BLAST!! "Big Purps" started right up and I rode for about 20 minutes. Aaaahhhhhhhhhh.

I want to die peacefully in my sleep, like my grandfather.. Not screaming and yelling like the passengers in his car.

YEP! Last weekend I started it up and since I needed to let it warm up, I would roll back a few feet, put it in gear and ride forward 5 feet. Actually did that a few times!

And all this time I thought I was the only one who did that, no matter what the weather is mine is started at least once a week with my little trips back and forth in the garage, wonder how many miles I have put on it just in crappy weather in the garage hhhhhmmmmmm???? might have to do some math to figure this one out.

Can't even do right that now. Gotta add the pipes, fenders, side covers, air cleaner then the seat so I can sit on it and go "vroom, vroom". When I'm ready to put on the tank ... it'll probably rain.

50 degrees here today after 18 last night! I rode thru melting snow running across the highway and it was like riding thru a freezer by the snow banks...It's great to get that first ride in!

It was about 50 toward the end of Sunday and I told the wife I had to put the bike in the ohter garage so I might as well go for a spin. She didn't want to go with so I put on 20 miles leg got a little cold but man was that nice. Always feels good to ride no matter if it's just a short one.
