    The first season ride is only surpassed by a good mates love; most of the time.

    And the first season ride was made better by being a brand new machine. Well not brand new, 2007 that was still in crate with less then a mile on it when I picked it up

    Any day can get better with a ride. Had to ride this week ad I was working on the wifes car. She told me that the riding is doing me good and I feel better. Everyone needs to get out more even if it is only to and from work. RIDE ON EVERONE and be safe. Injoy likfe as it is toooooo short.

    This week has been a great week.. the mornings have been cold (34-39) but I just reminded myself that the ride home would be great (45-60)... I can handle a little cold just so I can enjoy a great ride home...

    Hoping for the ice and packed snow to melt out enough today for that first ride. Don't want the first try to be a dump in the slush. Hard to get 700 lbs. back up when it keeps sliding! It is looking good for a stretch to clear today! Can't wait!

    Sunday, Monday, Wednesday, Thursday, ride each day. Can't go on the side roads much because of all the sand and gravel laid down this winter. It just felt so good!!!! Lots of stares "cuz Ely's sorta dead this time of year - in between the snowmobilers and ice-fishermen, and the canoers and fishermen. Pretty quiet 'til I cracked the throttle a few times. Now back to a little snow and rain and 30's for about a week.

    Finally got my girlfriend to go for a longer ride with me yesterday. We got about 70 miles. We had to go to her ex husbands, Im loaning him a backpack for a Grand Canyon hike, then rode towards home, she said she was craving an olive burger, so we went to a little bar we know of, then just out riding around. So she got a little of everything, back roads, freeway, daylight and night. I think my solo night rides may have just come to an end. Damn the luck!!

    Got to go out Tuesday, did about 80 miles on the wife's softail on Wednesday, screwed around thursday and sorta got a ride in but, Friday did a little over 100 miles on backroads... Left Seaford this morning and rode down to Chincoteague Va and back with the Missus. 75 miles one way so got in over 150 miles today. Had to bribe her with a Seafood Lunch down on Chincoteague Island Va... Yes, that's the famous "Wild Ponies" of Chincoteague ISLAND.... No! We didn't have horse steak sandwhiches! Brain, Brains!!!!

    Riding either my own bike or on the back, the last few days. Rode to Underwood family farsm, Ojai (about 150 miles round trip), and around town to run errands. Last weekend, rode from Arizona to California on the back. It's been 80-90 degrees. Today, "cooler" at 76*. I am so grateful living where I live!

    Oh man! I feel for all those who have crappy weather! Tons of bikes out on the roads today :-) Was advertised to hit the low 60s ~ but along the water routes it was slightly chillier... not to complain one bit! 115 miles just to get some oysters for dinner tonight! Yee haw! It's getting harder to get to the store all the time ;-) Pearl sounded awesome going up Chuckanut Drive ~ her pipes were on the wall side and ohhhhhh did she sound sweet :-)

    My luck would have been Ronald and try to haul him with those SHOES could be a chore.

    We got some snow yesterday, just enough to get the pavement wet, and now its a little icy. No rides today. Back in the 50s tomorrow.
