Tomorrow is supposed to be 11 deg and sunny.I'm probably going to head out for an afternoon ride on the backroads from Waterloo over to 15sr and then on up to the Forks to celebrate my 65th.Life is good.

Happy birthday!!

I'm going to guess there was lots of Timmies Angels up in Port today.

Saw a few. Roads were remarkably clean -- put in SuBa was feeling frisky so I let her run a few on Reach Rd -- felt so good -- when I got to Uxbridges I felt like a smoke (I don't smoke).

I will prolly be at the forks around 1:00.

Anyone planning on Riding this weekend with the forecast sitting @ +3 on Saturday, and +4 on Sunday? I was hoping to bring my bike down from the cottage where I store it during the winter. It's only calling for a high of +1 on Sunday in Huntsville though. Might still brave it!

All depends on whether they decide to over-react to the 1-3cm of snow on Thurs/Fri by dumping 1-3cm of salt everywhere like they do every year.

Thats true, fingers crossed the snow just holds off.

First ride of the year, took a nice 1hr ride down the lake and back. Still a bit chilly to be comfortable without bundling like the Michelin man. Saw 5 other bikes out, we're waking up!

BTW I got the best wave today from another rider. They leaned way over with arm stretched out, I thought I should high 5 them.
Felt like a kid again!

A little over 300 km today, awesome. Had coffee and a chat at the Forks with bigpoppa and Wingboy, surprised not to see you Macdoc.
Great day and my bike hasn't melted or rusted yet.

I've been getting constant thumbs up and questions from people on the slow drive home after work the last 2 days. Good feeling.

Yes I know what you mean! It is a fun kinda of attention. I really think motorcycles brings out some kind of curiosity in people.
Not to brag but I get all kinds of attention from random people, mostly because I ride a ex cop bike.

Today I had a random stranger ask me about it. Then was telling me how is grandfather rode a Harley for the military police. He was doing stunts riding through rings of fire, and had pictures, and was a bit of a daredevil. I quite enjoy having these moments.

surprised not to see you Macdoc.

Last two days of moving and staff would have strung me up when I got home....it was a really nice day to re-organize the garage tho and that met with approval all around.
Bike started instantly ..that Shorai is sweet. Kids bike is being sold and now we can get at it to spiff it up.
