    First ride into work of the year!

    Woohoo! Just wanted to express my excitement! If I passed you going down 3A from Dracut to Burlington, glad to see you out! (passed several bikes )

    On another note. Today was also my first time riding with my new Alpinestars ATL jacket. I have to see that I am very impressed with the ventilation. Perforated leather is going to be a godsend this summer.


    ...did I just jack my own post?

    Nice... rub it in some more.....
    I was looking forward to the fist day I could ride in without 6 layers, only to leave the office yesterday and notice my tire was totally shredded down the middle.... Should have it back for an evening rip tonight thankfully!!

    I live off of Mammoth as well. The only yellow bike I remember seeing was a ninja 250. But it is quite possible!

    I do about 20 miles from my house to my office in Burlington but I actually enjoy the ride. Could use the morning temperatures +10-20 degrees though!

    Nice. I should be riding to work almost daily by May 1st. As long as it is about 45+ by 8am I feel comfortable making the haul. Any colder than that and I chicken out. Bring on the heat!

    I rode today too, about 20 miles. 30 degrees when I left the house and I couldn't feel my fingers when I got here. In case you're wondering....a Hypermotard doesn't have much wind protection.

    My lunch hour and the ride home will be worth it!

    Days like today are when it really sucks to have a 1.5 mile commute

    I would commute into work, but it's a short ride from my garage to my garage.
