In the words of the philosopher Dirty Harry: "So, do you feel lucky, punk?"
I considered not leaving the house all day and keeping myself wrapped in bubble wrap. Nah, I'm kidding; I'm not superstitious... well, except for: green motorcycles are unlucky, 'cause that's a real thing. ;-)
It's a lovely day in the Tropical Tip, so I did my usual morning routine and got out there to enjoy the day. Of course, it's still early, so things could go into the crapper.
Enjoy your day!

A Blast From The Past...
I was going through some old photo files today, and came across this...
I think it is from 1983 or 84. On the right is Joan's Honda Goldwing Aspencade, on the left is my Harley FXRT. That Harley was HD's first shot at a sport touring bike. I liked that bike - it was "lightweight" (for a Harley, and compared to the full-dress touring bikes I had) and had an aerodynamic fairing... since getting the CTX, I have commented that the styling reminds me a bit of that FXRT. Well, a much more modern take on it.
And this one from a few years before the photo above...
Me on my first Sportster. It shook like a paint-mixer, but I was hooked on the torque - it felt like you could pull out tree stumps with it. I must have been a lot tougher back then, as we traveled a bunch on those bikes; Joan had a Yamaha Midnight Maxim at that time, that you may remember from this photo...
Ah, the memories.
