    Finally a ride

    After my F6B sat in the garage covered for the long, cold, Michigan winter, after 4 1/2 months, I got in a nice ride for about a hour today...A little cool, but I had almost forgotten how much I love this bike....Made my day!!!!

    Very good. We did a 120 mile trip through Conroe, Montgomery and DeSoto forest this afternoon. Glad you are back in the saddle.

    Yea, well some of us have been busy spending money on Farkles and trying to keep a wife happy at the same time.

    It's not easy.

    My wife tells me to "get out!" So, I guess it makes her happy.....

    Was a tad cold but I got out
    Heated chaps helped alot.

    I feel for you Mike The roads here in Florida are like "silk" compared to the "all terrain courses" of NE Pa. Weather is a bit balmy with daytime highs in the high eighties and a occasional shower. If I recall I still owe you a cold one whenever we get to Quaker State. I've managed to put almost 10K miles on my 6 since arriving in the Sun Shine State. This "snow birding" is a tough job but being a "old coal cracker" I'm up to the task. I'm sure you'll will save me some of those "pot holes" for my return later this month
