Motorcycle Play...

After finishing the trailer, we had a couple blustery days. Not cold, but lots of wind. Today was a perfect motorcycle-kinda day: cool enough to be comfortable in a light jacket, boots, and helmet. It's been several months (before we left to cruise the Erie Canal) since I've gotten in a good ride, and I made up for that today. The V-Strom is a great bike: nimble, gutsy, and comfortable riding position. The only thing missing around here are the great motorcycle roads we enjoyed so much up north (in the Black Hills)... the terrain here is flat and most of the roads are relatively straight. There's plenty of back roads so you can stay away from the crazy-ass drivers, but no hills and twisties that are so much fun to ride through.

The cool temps? It was 61ยบ this morning, warming into the upper 70s. Sunny and not a lot of wind. A fine day to be out on the motorcycle!

Happy Halloween!
