Smile Beautiful Day!!!!

Temp in the 70's, no wind, full tank. Nice ride in the panhandle. Can't wait til I get home. Open the new bottle of Knob Creek, warm up the hot tub, put some burgers on the grill, and watch the stars.

One could not ask for a more beautiful day.

It's even in the 50's for Ohio today. Took the new Scram out for a ride between the puddles. 20 minute ride and 1 1/2 hour clean up. I know it looks like a dirt bike, but I can't stand it dirty....it's so beeauutiful (sob).

I'm always annoying everyone with my perfect ride conditions, so I thought I'd share today's misery with you all.
It's around 28C outside (misery is never cold up here) & bucketing down rain, as ex-cyclone Helen makes its slow journey across the top of us, on it's way from the Gulf of Carpinteria to the Coral Sea. Where it's likely to re-form into a cyclone, & come back in to give us a real shellacking.
So the Scram can stay under it's bike-cover for today. & probably tomorrow & the day after that too. But hopefully I'll be back in the saddle by Thursday. & I reckon I'll be aching to rip out a quick 1000klms by then.
At least the roads are getting a good scrubbing.

66 Deg F here today and a great day for my last ride on the Bonnie for a while. Having eye surgery Wednesday which is gonna ground me for a while.
The Bonnie is a GREAT warm weather bike, if I could just make it more ridable in below 50 Deg F temps I think I'd change my plans about selling it.

I totally agree with you - We will see all of you Texans in Dallas next Sunday at 4pm EST!

Good for you Dan. But what about some pics, for those of us who had to shovel snow today?

No snow here. Took a nice ride down to Lisa's for lunch. 65+ DEG, a bit windy but for January in St. Louis I can't complain. Back to normal next week so some mods begin. New mini gauge bracket and got to powder coat the bucket. Also go a plug for the speedo wires to clean up the mess inside.

Great day in west central Fl after the fog burned on this morning. Had to stop after 20 miles to eat breakfast to give fog some time to burn off. Got were it wasn't safe to ride. Once clear it was a wonderful day. Mid 70's, no wind, no humdity, excellent riding weather. Lot's of bikes on the road today along with the police looking to make some money.
