Where did you ride today?
01/09/10 at 19:17:39

Okay so some of you aren't as able to ride as myself right now. I just thought it might be a great topic to get going for the new year.

I took my S-40 whom I named Genie out today for about 1 1/2 hr ride. I took back roads and did a little freeway riding to get to another back road. Was 50 degrees here today. Sun shinning and I just could not passup the chance to ride. I am planning on riding again tomorrow as sun is supposed to last all day.
Met a few other bikes on the road as well.

Babyhog, I took you along in spirit...

hey babyhog, guess I really didn't specify exactly what kind of riding.. hahaha..

Well at least you got in some exercise along with your ride..haha..

Okay gang I am referring to your motorcycle as if you all didn't know..

A great bunch we have here and thanks for allowing me to be a part of it..

Don't worry I have had to wait out the weather here as well.
For those of who that have snow and ice now, be careful of the sand on the roads as well... Wink

Took a shower this morning and went to church.... hair froze.... eyes started to water from the biting cold (15).

No riding for a while. It's suppose to get to 40 on Thrusday, but that means the snow will melt and make nice puddles hiding the cinders on the roads...... Embarrassed

verslagen1 & kimchris1..... from the east side of the continent, we envy you..... maybe a little grumbling when we read your posts too. Wink

Reply #9 - 01/10/10 at 13:36:18 Just got back from riding to the store to get a twenty pound bag of ice. I think I need to adjust my idle. She died on me a couple of times at a stop light. Also I almost got hit by an eighteen wheeler that was pulling out of an alley.

Yonuh, nice to hear you got out on your bike. I was happy to hear the Semi missed you. Whew those close calls sure brings the heart rate up..

Today I rode again over to Tacoma and Fife Wa. That is over by Seattle yet not in Seattle.
Met a couple friends for some coffee. Had a nice time catching up with one another before we parted ways and all headed back home.
It was cool yet no rain and I was glad I had layers on.
All in all I got to ride for about 2.5 hrs and loved every min of it. O and took Babyhog along in Spirit too.. She is a great spirit.. hahaha
