Got out for an hour long ride today....

[motojoe122]

Felt SO good to be on the bike, weather was warm enough so I took advantage of it. On the way home I came over a bridge, the way the sun was setting projected a shadow on the barrier wall next to me and it looked exactly like the FZ6 patch. I felt like this guy:thumbup:

Cool on getting out to ride today.

I live 3 miles from where this shot was taken. It was NAS Miramar then and is now MCAS Miramar.

Maybe I'll get a chance to do a short ride tomorrow.... I need it!

That's great that you got out to ride! So looking forward to spring in my neck of the woods. Do you worry about the salt residue still being on the roads yet or do you wash your bike down quick after the ride?

dschult i feel your pain brother! i am near south haven and we have about what you do for snow, and spring cant get here quick enough..

i usually wait for most the salt to rinse, figure why add extra corrosion and such to something that dont need it. the cars/trucks get enough.

NICE!! Yesterday was the annual MSF update and I rode over (55 miles each way). As you said.. felt SO good to be on two wheels again after all this down time!!

I do worry about the salt, but it wasn't too bad this time. I think the snow melt washed most of it away. I'll give it a quick wash today.

Spent 2 weeks recovering from Flu. Still not 100%. Waiting for bona fide warmer weather and for the cough/headache to be gone.

Glad to hear you guys are able to get out and ride for a bit

I took her out today for a good 4 hour ride and It felt awesome! Besides the fact it started to rain which then increased my salt accumulation it was all good. Just have to watch out for all those new jersey pot holes !

Good for you. I too was able to take a short ride on Saturday. I rode January 1st and now February 1st. Do I see a trend going down? I like to try and ride at least once a month all year long if possible during the winter. I live in the land of rain normally. We have had such a dry winter this year it's been easy to get it done!

The weather here over the weekend was fantastic! :thumbup: I was not able to get out Saturday on account of doing stuff with the girlfriend, and attempting to get myself out of the dog house a bit. :spank:

Sunday was 65 and sunny. Managed to get the bike out after doing a bit of work. She fired right up and ran like a champ. Since I don't have colder weather gear (my goal for 2014), it was nice to even just get around town. I wish I could've gone out to the country for a bit, but getting out to catch up with a friend over a micro-brewed pint (and find out he's expecting a kid!), then making a trip to the grocery store was great. If anyone is wondering, you can fit a twelve pack of Guinness to share with friends for the super bowl on the back quite nicely. I did not drink any of said Guinnesses until parking the bike & locking it up for the evening, for the record.

I'm really glad some of you guys/gals were able to make it out to ride, though. Can't wait for spring, and warmer weather!

I was so upset that I didn't get the bike out on Sunday because it hit 70F here! last Tuesday morning it was barely over ZERO! Now here we are 24 hours later and it's 38 and sleeting. :spank:
