First ride of the year and a new bike book!
« on: March 09, 2007, 08:14:32 AM »
I just finished reading Riding with Rilke by Ted Bishop, which I would recommend to anyone. He rides a Ducati but really the book is about his love of riding and reading. Anyway, reading the book really made my itchy for a ride, its been 6 months of snow here. Sunday forecast is for 19 degrees! (thats around 70 for you Americans). First ride of the season coming up. I'm stoked!

Perhaps if you wore clothes?
Seems we all have to make sacrifices...  :)

Considering the tales I hear from the Aussie men, I expect you all to be running.  But, if you just tossed beer at them, I can imagine you could easily out distance them by simply walking.

I took the CB750 out for the first ride of the 2007 season today.
Was in the upper 50's, and besides dodging the puddles (no fenders), was a good time.
A few of my buddies are getting together tomorrow (said to be around 60) for alittle bit of a  "dust off" run, project "Junk" and I are ready...
