Default such a nice day to go for a ride

I just got back from a 3 hour ride on the cane...such a nice day out...rode all the way to the next state line...not that hard in CT though, lol...I took rte. 44 all the way out to canaan and back...a really nice ride...most of it old twisties and some str8s...stayed around 60 most of the way, but managed to grab a few 120s here and there...seems to be running very well...still tend to idle down a bit low sometimes, but not all the time. but then again...how often am I going to be at idle? lol

Glad to hear you're having a good day.

It's sunny and 73F here at the moment.

I had some work to do around the house today, but I rode down to VA earlier. Very nice. I got to see a Lambo and a Subaru go at it. Not much of a fight.

Figure I'm gonna jump off here and take another ride myself. Gotta take advantage of this weather. Been a while.

Did a 200 K run this morning with 4 friends - clear, sunny and warm, very few bugs. Had a great breakfast and returned about an hour back. Steve's now grinding his teeth Grrrrrrrrrrrrr.
I don't know if I could've stayed home with an expired disc - probably would have gone for it.................but then it'd be unlucky to be stopped unless you're speeding (which I was on occasion)
Would 135MPH (216KPH)get you arrested in Oz, Steve'o ?
I was last in the group, so fairly safe from the "Blue Heelers"

Never mind Steve. The weather here in mid uk is lovelly and just han to take the black sheep out for a buz through the country roads. Look on the bright side, you could always get a trike with four seats on and take the kids out as well.

Yep, nevermind steve. He'll be ok, I suppose.
Look at it this way steve: Us poor guys around here have to shovel snow sometimes when you're riding!
You'll be back in the saddle in no time.

It's a little cloudy today. Still plenty warm enough, though. As soon as I get off work, I'm going riding (although paper airplanes is fun, too)!

I was getting my gear on yesterday when the boy wanted to throw the football around. Didn't mind too much, though. Just happy it's finally getting nice out.
BTW, that's an American Football. Not one of them "fancylad" footballs.
