Yep, but then I've been riding everyday.

It was a beautiful day in the neighborhood this morning.

I rode, of course. So did the cute young thing (http://www.dslretorts.com/Paladin/archives/000054.html) on her Harley. When I get back to the barn I'll photograph what bikes made it in today.

First time every commuting on the bike.

Yep, I rode today. All 80 miles of the commute...got another 80 to do at the end of the day.

Oh, and my bike passed a milestone today. She turned over 30,000 miles. I stopped on the interstate and celebrated by having some Dasani bottled water and a Cocoa Puff cereal bar. And I took a pic of the odometer with my cell phone. Since I haven't a clue what to do with cellphone pics, I made it my wallpaper on my cell phone.

I bought my bike (the Intruder, by the way) Memorial Day weekend. It had 27,300 miles at the time.

The Savage is nearing 4000 miles now. Not bad since she was brand new in August of last year and had to sit out six of those months due to crappy winter weather in Maine.

Oooo....I like that better!

I think I'll sneak out early and ride the long way home (as if 80 miles isn't long enough) :o

Had the day off, so, I'm riding the couch instead of the bike. Ride to work everyday anyway, so, on my days off, I want nothing to do with it as far as riding goes. Loved the Savage. HATE the Intruder. I'll take any excuse I can get NOT to ride it.

I took the lake side tour into work and home again!
It's @ 10 miles of " I don't wanna stop!" 30-40 mph cruising.
Hated to stop on such a perfect day-REALITY... >:( SUCKS!

Well, after I reminded everyone at work about today, I ended up driving! What a drag. My S40 is down, waiting on a part. It came in & I picked it up after work. I had to get a new carb hose. My old one is kinked & it barely runs over 30 mph. I cut off about 3/4 inch 'cause it had a hole in it from removing my gas tank about 13 times & taking off that hose. Now it doesn't have quite enough slack in it to stay open. Anyway, maybe next year. :'(

I did all week, though it's been on the toasty side. Supposed to be 102 F today.

If the Savage doesn't run I have to use the Camaro, no AC and the LT1 heating up everything. Riding is always cooler for me.
