Welcome to the 2011 Riding Season
 

As it's already been stated and you would have been living in a basement to not know in Michigan, the riding season has returned.

In preperation Wed when I got home from work, I burned in the nightster pipes (from this winter's projects), and summerized the garage. This was an evacuation of the wife's car, moving a the lift, prepping the snow blower for summer storage, putting away half the snow shovels (I'm not ready to curse myself by putting them all away yet), setting up the outside hoses (water supply still turned off inside but they are ready)... but in general get ready.

It's so nice to see the garage all open like this... I hate it's winter cramped version.

Then I rode to work... it was so nice out. Got home early enough to work on a few other house projects I have been putting off till warmer weather. Then clean wipe down both bikes, they were pretty dirty from sitting uncovered for 2 months while I worked on them.

Did you get out?

What about today? I rode again, that's two days in a row and a great way to start the season in mid march.

Its supposed to reach 80 degrees here today, congrats on being able to ride again I've been riding here since January. I sure don't miss Michigan

Yeah I hear ya... it hit 70* yesterday!! Suppose to hit 55 today...

It's like McD's here..

We're Lovin It.

Did a down the road and back a few times. Still a ton of dirt and salt on the roads from the winter.

I've been riding for awhile. I pretty much haven't stopped riding.

If I come up will you let me ride the Sporster?

I have a sunday 360 miler planned. It will be my first outiing of the year. Plan on doing 180, then hooking up with some friends for another 180. Gonna start early and run late mang!

We've had a couple of decent days so far this Spring....but....my bike is still in the garage. I usually make my first ride of the season a trip to the Blarney Breakfast on St. Patrick's day....took the bike last year and it was 28F and pitch black when I left he house at 5 am....took the Eclipse GT this year and and was 58F when I left the house.

I regret it.

Beautiful day for riding today and I'm stuck in the city.
Miserable weekend for riding coming up...

Guess I'll be doing spring cleaning in the garage.

I might ride today. But probably not.


Get rid of that windshield on the Nightster.

65 today. stuck @ work.

i wont take mine out till the roads clear off a bit. in a few weeks...
