Looks like Tuesday's the day

Got the call today from my dealer that my new (to me) Bonnie black is ready to go. Plates are in as well (might be a record -- I got the plates before the bike was even ready). Can't get down there today to pick it up since we've got snow coming down. Should be able to get a ride down on Tuesday, though, so that's the target day. My MCR rack and Haynes manual have come in already, so I'm all set for a season's riding.

The 40 mile ride home will be my longest ride on a Bonnie yet, as I've only ridden a few short demo miles so far. Should be exciting, if a bit chilly.

Hey Drooartz, not sure where you live, but I did a great ride to Antelope Island with a buddy last weekend. Lots of open roads with just the right amount of curve. I live in downtown Salt Lake. Let me know if you're up for a ride!

Antelope Island is a good, fun ride. I'm up in Midway -- I'll be happy enough to get the bike home for now with the iffy spring weather around.

We should try to connect up this summer for certain. So many good rides around here.

Hey B,
I live up near Antelope Island. You and Drew and I need to hook up for a ride.
