Man that looks like fun.
When I was young I would ride all winter,snow, sleet , hail, didn't matter. Now I put them up when the weather is around 50 degrees. I wonder when I turned into such a puss.

'cause you don't have a girlfriend like ^^^her^^^ to impress.....HA!

Today was the first chance I've had to ride this new year. The weather was great so I went out and put about 100 miles on this afternoon. This first picture was taken on the old stagecoach road looking down on the Cold Springs Arch Bridge. I couldn't get a good shot of the bridge and bike together so the second picture is just of the bridge. The third picture was taken on East Camino Cielo Road looking at Santa Barbara and Goleta below. The fourth one is a zoom in of Santa Barbara and the channel islands in the background. It's going to be a great year for riding I'm sure.

jealous stev-o. its not that cold here, but its also not that warm...at all. for the FIRST time in my life I am missing warm/hot weather, and I've lived here in GA for 17 years and we have killer hot/humid summers. the motorcycle negates all of that. everything just melts away on a bike.

You'll be riding soon, Chef.  Glad I got a good ride in yesterday 'cause it's going down to 30 tonight...

30? That's short sleeve weather. It was -15 here in Chicago this morning.

Just got back from an afternoon ride so I thought I'd post some pics of my sightseeing. The Longhorn bull and the Buffalo were in the same pasture off of Ballard Canyon Road, the old farm equipment was on Alisos Canyon Road and the shot of my bike with Lompoc Valley in the background was taken on Harris Grade Road. I love this area with all of it's great roads, great scenery and great weather.
