Riding season

The weather has been cleared for a good minute. I don’t think winter season has officially ended but we are going to be hitting the mid 80’s soon.

On my way home from work today I must have passed 15 or so motorcycle riders. Most of the riders were on Harley’s out stretching their sleds out preparing for the new “Riding Season”.

In other states such located way up north or east I can see a reason not to ride on the open highways. Riding in dangerous weather conditions is no joke.

My definition of a dangerous riding condition is snow. I’ve ridden a few times on snow and it sucks. I went down riding in snow one year. That being said that I avoid it. All other weather is free game, it depends on the extreme amount of it that makes riding sketchy. I will pretty much ride in any weather. I have the proper gear to handle it.

Washed up

Getting the sled ready for the week. At least it will stay cleaner for a longer period, no rain is in the forecast.

Ever since I’ve been riding, the bike wash served 2 purposes. One is to obviously clean the bike and the other probably more important is finding loose or broken pieces.

This goes for the same with missing nuts or screws.

I may start using Saran wrap on the windshield. During the heavy insect riding months it’s a lot easier to keep the windshield clean and in good shape.
