    Yes ! Ride today?

    So who rode today?

    Man, it was a really great feeling to fire it up and ride to work today.
    Aside from a hairy fishtail coming up too fast on
    a stop sign in the morning shade it was nice to get that throttle hand
    moving again!

    Its even still light out at 5:30pm now.
    Bring it on!

    Hell yeah. I've been riding to work all week. Granted my truck's fuel pump s$%^ the bed and I didn't have much of a choice....

    The only thing that sucks here in South County, RI is that the beach won't stay by the shore, and a lot of off/on-ramps have turned into sand traps...

    I rode to work yesterday, but today it's supposed to rain all afternoon and then drop into the teens overnight. I didn't really want to take my bike to work, ride home in the rain, and then have the wet bike sit out and freeze.

    Here in Boston its a 30% chance.
    My experience with 30% is "Fuck That ! I'm riding"

    If it had been 50% or probably even 60% I would have ridden... but it was 100%.

    And sure enough, it's raining.

    Rode over to Seacoast....then around a bit....then home.

    Nice and warm but sloppy. Bikes filthy! Small price to pay...

    I saw a lot of bikes out this week (for this time of year at least). I'm in Gansett
    and also saw a street sweeper in town! Whoa!! Hang in there...

    Re: Yes ! Ride today?

    I was in Burlington today around 4:00 and saw a bike coming out of the Mall. I was back a bit but I think it was a black R6, not positive on that though. I know it was 18 degree's out and tooo dang cold for this ol' boy.

    Re: Yes ! Ride today?

    I though about, but not willing to risk it, with all the sand out there, I can wait a bit more.

    Re: Yes ! Ride today?

    I was tooling around yesterday for a bit after I picked up my bike from the shop. It felt so good to be back on two wheels even though it was windy as a bastard but I'm looking forward to the roads/weather to improve to really get out there and have some fun.
